Putin Says Russian Forces Ready to Retaliate After Ukraine Strike Hits School Dormitory in Luhansk
Russian authorities requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting after what they say was a Ukrainian drone strike on a college and dormitory in Starobilsk, in Russian-controlled Luhansk, early Friday. Moscow said about 10 drones—allegedly launched from Kharkiv region—hit the site, destroying most of the dormitory and prompting ongoing rescue operations and local blood donations for victims. Kremlin spokesmen denounced the attack as a “monstrous crime” and an act of terror, with some Russian officials and commentators calling it a provocation; President Vladimir Putin warned Russian forces are prepared to retaliate. Russian diplomats and propagandists framed the incident as a deliberate strike on children and civilians, seeking international attention and condemnation.
