Specifically, in Donetsk region, Russian forces targeted a resident of Kostiantynivka, marking another tragic event in this area.

Additionally, five more individuals were wounded in various cities across the region.

The injured include three residents of Kostiantynivka, one in Pokrovsk, and one in Yampil.

The situation in Kherson remains tense: due to shelling, one civilian was killed, and four others were injured.

Official reports state that Russian troops intentionally target critical and social infrastructure, aggravating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
