Russian forces have stepped up their attacks on the Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk region, targeting multiple communities and causing casualties and significant infrastructure damage.

Governor Vadym Filashkin reported that 13 attacks were launched across the region in the past 24 hours. One person was killed in Kurakhove, while several others were injured in Kostiantynivka. Numerous residential buildings, schools, and essential infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed.

The cities of Maryinka, Hrodivka, and Myrnohrad remain under constant shelling, while the communities of Drobysheve, Chasiv Yar, and Siversk have also faced intense attacks.

As a result of the ongoing conflict, over 2,000 people, including hundreds of children, have been evacuated from frontline areas in Donetsk. (ILKHA)
