As a result of continuous combat operations and enemy shelling in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions, tragic losses among the civilian population were recorded over the past day — three people killed and 18 wounded
This sad statistic is yet another testament to the high price civilians in the region pay for direct participation in the war, as they become victims of destruction and violence every day. According to information from the regional military administrations of Donetsk and Kharkiv oblasts, Russian occupiers deliberately conducted targeted shelling once again, leading to human casualties in peaceful settlements. Specifically, in Donetsk region, two civilians — residents of Kostiantynivka, which has long been a hotspot of fighting — were killed by gunfire, while in Kharkiv region, one person died. The data is supplemented by information about the wounded: within Donetsk, nine people were wounded over the past day — five in Pokrovsk, three in Kostiantynivka, and one in Lyman. The situation in Kharkiv region is even more alarming, where targeted shelling resulted not only in injuries but also in people perishing under the debris of civilian infrastructure. In Kupiansk, one of the key settlements, a 55-year-old woman died during the epicenter of enemy strikes. At the same time, six individuals — men aged 58, 49, 40, 53, 54, and 59 — sustained injuries. Additionally, in the village of Kутьківка of the Dvorichanska community, three people were injured: a 39-year-old man, a 59-year-old man, and a 62-year-old woman. As a result of missile and artillery strikes, several civilian infrastructure objects have been damaged and destroyed, creating additional difficulties for local residents — with homes destroyed and lives devastated, they are forced to seek temporary shelter and rebuild their lives under difficult conditions. The military confrontation and shelling by Russian occupiers leave marks not only on the battlefield but also in the fates of thousands of regional residents. Radio stations, schools, hospitals, residential buildings — all are ruthlessly destroyed by fire, turning into ruins. People who have survived these devastating attacks say that recovery after such shocks is a long and difficult journey, requiring not only material resources but also spiritual strength. Meanwhile, authorities are calling on the international community to intensify support and help more quickly cope with the consequences of the war, as each new day brings new losses and destructions. This tragedy highlights the need to intensify diplomatic efforts, stop the aggression, and create conditions for long-term peace to end the bloodshed and save the lives of ordinary citizens who are daily caught in the very hell of war.
