Russians shelled the Donetsk region 17 times over the past 24 hours
Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops have struck settlements in the Donetsk region 17 times. The attacks left one person wounded and caused damage to residential buildings, a store, and two factory workshops; more than 900 people were evacuated from areas near the front lines.
Russian troops continue to shell populated areas in the Donetsk region. Over the past day, several towns and villages in the region came under fire. Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, reported on the consequences of the attacks. “In just one day, the Russians shelled settlements in the Donetsk region 17 times. A total of 915 people, including 136 children, were evacuated from the front lines,” he wrote.
According to regional authorities, one person was wounded in Mykolaivka, Kramatorsk District, as a result of Russian shelling. A private home was also damaged there. Another mention of an injured person appears in a report regarding Kramatorsk. However, the data provided does not specify whether this refers to the same person, so the final number of casualties should be awaited until the information is clarified.
In Sloviansk, Russian strikes damaged a private home. Two factory workshops were also damaged. In Ocheretine, Oleksandrivka community, a store was damaged. In Mirna Dolyna, Russian shelling damaged a private home. Residential buildings in Novodonetsk sustained serious damage. Six private homes and five high-rise buildings were damaged there.
Thus, Russian attacks once again targeted both residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Among the damaged properties are private homes, high-rise buildings, a store, and industrial facilities.
Over 900 people have been evacuated from the Donetsk region
Due to constant Russian shelling, authorities continue to evacuate people from areas located near the front line. According to Filashkin, 915 people were evacuated over the past day. Among them were 136 children. The evacuation is necessary because settlements near the front line are regularly targeted by Russian attacks. People there remain under constant threat of artillery shelling, drone strikes, and other types of weaponry.
Regional authorities are urging residents of frontline areas not to remain in dangerous zones and to move to safer locations. Russia regularly attacks the Donetsk region. Cities, villages, residential buildings, businesses, and other civilian targets are under attack.
This time, Russian troops shelled settlements in the region 17 times, damaging residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. One person was wounded, and hundreds were forced to flee the dangerous areas. Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, reported this on Facebook.
Russian troops struck a residential building in Kherson with a guided aerial bomb. Three people were injured in the attack—an 84-year-old man, a 75-year-old woman, and a 43-year-old man. All were taken to the hospital.
Russian drones caused major fires in the Synelnykivskyi district of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. A food warehouse and a logistics company building caught fire, and rescue workers had to work on site all night. The fire was successfully extinguished.
Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops engaged in combat with the Ukrainian Defense Forces 245 times. The highest number of attacks was recorded in the Pokrovsk direction—43; another 17 assaults took place in the Kostiantynivka direction, and nine each in the Pivdenno-Slobozhanskyi and Kupianskyi directions.
