Russian military forces struck Kostiantynivka again: one person was killed, and another was injured during the shelling
A solemn morning on June 19 in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, became a testament to a new wave of destruction and human tragedies caused by the armed conflict. According to local authorities, the day before, Russian occupation forces used artillery to shell the city, resulting in severe damage and human casualties. According to Serhii Horbunov, head of the Kostiantynivka City Military Administration, the attack lasted approximately exactly one hour — from 04:30 to 05:30 in the morning. At least two strikes were recorded as a result of the shelling, including hits in the residential sector of the city. The most tragic consequence was the death of a woman who was at home at the time of the strike. Preliminary reports indicate that a shell hit her dwelling directly, and the tragedy occurred during her usual morning sleep. In addition to the fatality, another person was injured during the shelling and was quickly transported to medical facilities for assistance. Furthermore, the powerful explosions damaged the facades of two other private houses, significantly complicating the lives of residents, as the destruction affected not only their material possessions but also their psychological well-being. Local authorities strongly condemn the renewed aggression by Russian forces, which again disrupted the peaceful lives of residents and caused a new wave of terror and destruction. They emphasize the need to strengthen security and protect the population, and urge all residents to be cautious and await further information from relevant services. This is not the first time Kostiantynivka has been targeted by enemy shelling. Since the start of the war, the city has experienced many destructions, and the situation remains tense. Every new attack reminds us of the price paid for the freedom and independence of the Ukrainian people. The local community anxiously awaits further updates and calls for unity in the fight against the aggressor, as each day brings new challenges and tests.
