00:06 Five civilians killed in Russian strikes on Konstantinivka and Toretsk
Five people were killed in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine by Russian artillery fire. Three people were killed and four others were wounded in the town of Konstantinivka. Two men were killed near Torecko, Reuters reported.
As Donetsk Region Governor Vadym Filashkin announced on the Telegram social channel, three men aged 24 to 69 were killed as a result of Saturday’s shelling in Konstantinivka. Four people were injured and taken to hospital. Three power lines, a multi-storey apartment building and an administrative building were damaged.
Two men, aged 52 and 53, died near Toretsk, said Anastasija Medvedeva, spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office in Donetsk.
Reuters recalls that Konstantynivka, which before the war was an industrial city with a population of about 70,000 inhabitants, during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has been ongoing since February 24, 2022, has been constantly bombarded from the ground and from the air. In August, in the face of the Russian offensive, the Ukrainian authorities announced the forced evacuation of families with children
