A significant airstrike targeted the center of Kramatorsk today, resulting in injuries to at least ten individuals. The attack occurred around 09:45 AM, with Russian forces reportedly dropping guided bombs on the city.
Preliminary reports indicate that four FAB-250 bombs with an UMPK module were deployed in the central area. One bomb struck a residential building directly, causing injuries to six men and four women, whose ages range from 29 to 89.
The airstrike has led to extensive damage, affecting 17 apartment buildings and damaging approximately ten vehicles. Emergency services continue to work at the site to clear debris and assess the situation.
Authorities have stated that paramedics, bomb disposal experts, and investigative teams are on the scene. The final count of casualties is still being determined.
In response to the attack, a preliminary investigation has been launched regarding violations of the laws and customs of war. Emergency responders remain active in the area.
Officials emphasized that the strike was aimed deliberately at residential areas during a time when many people were present on the streets.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of Russian military strikes on civilian infrastructure in Kramatorsk. In late March, a similar attack resulted in the deaths of three individuals, including a child, and left seven others injured. Earlier in February, a targeted strike on a residential building claimed the lives of three brothers, while their mother and grandmother sustained serious injuries.
Additionally, a sleeping district was also hit in early February, causing significant damage to high-rise buildings and resulting in civilian casualties.
A recent airstrike in Kramatorsk has left at least ten injured and caused significant destruction to residential buildings. This attack highlights ongoing military actions against civilian areas in the region.
