Kremlin accuses Ukraine of a 'monstrous crime' after deadly drone strike on Luhansk region

The Kremlin ​on Friday ​accused Ukraine of carrying ‌out a "monstrous ​crime" after Russian officials said an overnight Ukrainian drone ‌attack on a Luhansk region college had killed at least four people and left 35 children ‌wounded. Reuters was not able to immediately verify ‌what happened independently and there was no immediate comment from Ukraine, which is fighting to try to return ⁠Luhansk, ​one ⁠of four regions Russia unilaterally claimed as its own in ⁠2022 in what Kyiv said was an illegal ​land grab.

Photo and video released by the ⁠Russian authorities showed rescue workers stretchering one man out ⁠of ​the rubble, severely damaged buildings, one of which appeared to have partially collapsed, and ⁠fires still burning. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters ⁠on ⁠Friday that those responsible needed to be brought to justice.
