The State Emergency Service, via NV, reported three dead and six wounded at a warehouse in Obukhiv Raion.

Why it matters

What's unclear
- Whether the Chabany road strike, the Obukhiv Raion warehouse strike and the Holosiivskyi District crash are the same incident or separate ones
- The exact death and injury tolls, which differ across reports (three killed/four injured, three killed/six wounded, at least one killed/six injured)
- Whether the drone was intercepted or crashed, and what it struck
