During a new wave of shelling by Russian forces in Donetsk region, two civilians were killed as a result of missile and artillery strikes, three others were wounded, and residential and private properties were damaged
Official sources confirm that the situation at the front remains tense, and the consequences of Russian aggression have devastating impacts on the peaceful population of the region. According to the State Emergency Service on Facebook, a large fire occurred in the city of Kostiantynivka on the territory of a private farm as a result of Russian strikes. A utility building and a garage burned down there, and two people died in the fire. Two more individuals sustained injuries of varying severity. The fire was promptly extinguished, but the damage was significant. As a result of Wednesday’s shelling—information from the region—five multi-story buildings, a private house, an administrative building, as well as four garages and four cars were damaged. Authorities call on residents to exercise maximum caution and follow safety rules during periods of active hostilities. In the city of Oleksiieve-Druzhkivka, the situation was again tense: Russian troops launched an attack on the residential sector, causing a fire at a construction materials storage site. Three residential buildings were damaged, and the fire was quickly extinguished. One resident was injured. Photos released by rescuers show the extent of the destruction and the speed of emergency response. On the Lyman front, new shellings have begun, causing fires in an apartment building and in an open area. Firefighters responded quickly and extinguished the fires, but the blaze managed to destroy about two hectares of dry grass on the outskirts. One civilian was injured during these events and taken to medical facilities for necessary treatment. Kremlin shellings and their consequences once again demonstrate how costly Russian aggression is for ordinary people, destroying homes and trust. Local authorities and rescue services urge residents to stay at home only when absolutely necessary and to remain patient during this difficult time, as the fight for safety continues. At the same time, Ukrainian defenders assure that they are making every effort to repel the enemy and restore normal life for the region’s peaceful residents.
