This difficult and tragic news is confirmed by official information from the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office, which provides detailed reports on the scale of destruction and human losses caused by the aggression of the Russian Federation. According to prosecutors, the evening shelling was particularly brutal. At the beginning of the day, the occupiers resumed firing at the Illinivska community, located near the village of Dovha Balka. Russian military forces used an FPV drone strike against a tractor, which resulted in tragic consequences — the driver of the agricultural equipment received fatal wounds. Reports also indicate that the enemy’s military equipment launched a missile attack with the "Smerch" multiple launch rocket system on the village of Stepanivka. As a result of this attack, a 65-year-old local resident was wounded, with medics diagnosing her with mine-explosive trauma, a laceration, and bruises. She was at her home at the time of the attack. Kostiantynivka was also not spared from shelling — one of the most affected cities in the region during the ongoing military conflict. During a shelling attack there, a 51-year-old resident was killed, and another civilian was injured. In Pokrovsk, where the situation is equally tense, a 59-year-old city resident sustained a shrapnel wound. In the evening, the occupiers launched an attack on Rodynske, resulting in the death of an 85-year-old man. Additionally, two city residents were diagnosed with mine-explosive injuries; one of them had a closed fracture, and others were wounded by shrapnel. Overall, civilian objects have suffered significant damage due to enemy actions — preliminary data indicates that at least 17 private houses, 18 apartment buildings, 30 garages, and a tractor have been damaged. This is an additional manifestation of man-made destruction caused by Russian aggression in the region. Medical and rescue services continue to provide assistance to the affected, exerting all efforts to stabilize the situation on the ground. This information once again highlights the severity of the humanitarian situation in Donetsk region, where civilians die and get injured every day. It underscores the urgent need to stop the aggression quickly to prevent further human losses and destruction. Overall, the situation remains tense, and the regional population continues to live in a state of anxiety and anticipation.
