In Lviv region, an enemy drone that had been shot down fell onto private residential buildings in the village of Malekhiv in the Lviv district. This was reported by Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv regional military administration, in his Telegram channel on October 13.

According to the head of the OSA, this is preliminary information, and details on the scale of damage and potential casualties will be announced later. At present, there are no official data about casualties from the drone crash.
"According to preliminary information, during the air raid alert, which lasted in the Lviv region from 15:04 to 15:31, in the village of Malekhiv in the Lviv district an enemy drone that had been shot down fell. Private residential buildings were damaged," said Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv regional military administration.
Lviv region suffers from crashes of shot-down drones.
The incident in Malekhiv is yet another example of how even drones intercepted by air defenses pose a threat to civilians. Debris or intact fuselages of shot-down drones regularly fall onto residential areas, causing fires and destruction of houses and outbuildings.
Local authorities traditionally urge residents not to approach the debris of downed equipment during and immediately after an air raid, as even neutralized targets can explode or cause a fire. Rescue services and police typically inspect the crash site before allowing residents to return to their homes.
Earlier, Informator reported that a Russian jet drone destroyed a doctor's house in the village of Murovane in Lviv region, and the medic's family had to evacuate from the burning home, which the fire completely destroyed. We also wrote that at that time a downed drone fell onto a residential building in Murovane, causing a fire in several buildings, and damages to nearby cars.
