This was reported by the Head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration and Chief of the Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin.
Russian forces shelled the city with cluster munitions, striking directly at a market, where there is always a large concentration of people in the morning.
This is yet another deliberate war crime and further proof that all Russian statements about a so-called “ceasefire” are worth nothing.
The final number of victims has not yet been established — significant updates will be reported additionally.
All relevant emergency services are working at the scene, providing assistance to the injured and eliminating the consequences of the shelling.
In addition, the enemy dropped two aerial bombs on Druzhkivka. An industrial area, three apartment buildings, and three private houses were damaged.
Once again, we urge all residents of Donetsk region: evacuate to safer areas. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones.
