A Russian drone hit a residential building in Vinnytsia Oblast, Governor Serhii Borzov reported in the evening on March 14.

Three people were hospitalized, the governor said, adding that all relevant services are working on the spot.

No further details were provided at the moment.

Vinnytsia Oblast lies in the central-western part of Ukraine, some 300 kilometers (180 miles) from the front line.

The announcement of the latest attack came amid an air raid alert in the region and a warning from the Air Force that Shahed-type "kamikaze" drones are moving west. Explosions were heard also in the neighboring Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Suspilne reported.

Merkel describes Trump as 'fascinated by Putin' in her memoir.

"(Donald Trump) saw everything from the point of view of a property developer, which is what he was before he came into politics. Every plot of land could only be sold once, and if he didn't get it, someone else would," Angela Merkel says in her memoir.
