Russia continues to shell the Donetsk region

The occupiers are using guided aerial bombs, missiles, and other types of weaponry, striking both industrial facilities and residential areas. Ukrainian authorities are once again urging residents of frontline communities not to ignore air raid sirens and, if possible, to evacuate to safer regions.
Specialized services are currently working at the sites of the Russian strikes, documenting the consequences of the attacks and clearing the debris.
