Five dead and 11 injured. Russia attacked Kostiantynivka (updated).


Strikes on Kostiantynivka resulted in the deaths of five people and injuries to eight others. This was reported by the head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, Vadym Filashkin, who noted that Russian airstrikes have become more frequent and brutal. Filashkin urged local residents to evacuate, as the city has become unsafe for living.
According to preliminary data, the deceased due to shelling ranged in age from 47 to 75 years old, with 11 injured. Four of the injured are in moderate to serious condition, while the others suffered minor injuries.
Filashkin also reported that as a result of the shelling, apartment buildings, trade pavilions, businesses, cars, a bus, and power lines were damaged.
In addition, a Russian drone attack occurred in Kyiv region, resulting in the deaths of three people, including the head of a department at the National Medical University and a journalist. Investigations into both incidents are underway, and results will be released later.
