This is reported by the head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, the head of the regional military administration Vadim Filashkin.
The Russians have again deliberately struck where it is always crowded — at the shopping center in the city center. This time they used a 500-kilogram aerial bomb.
According to preliminary estimates, 54 retail outlets, 304 apartments, 13 houses, and 8 cars have been damaged.
It is likely that people are still trapped under the rubble — the search for survivors continues.
“I inspected the strike site and ordered all responsible services to take action. Rescuers, doctors, police, and local authorities are working at the scene.
This is yet another horrific crime by the Russians on our land. They seek to exterminate us all to the last.
Therefore, I once again urge all civilians: evacuate to safer regions of Ukraine! Take care of yourselves and your loved ones!
I will inform you of significant changes additionally,” emphasized Vadim Filashkin.
