On the morning of March 10, Russian forces used aerial bombs to target the city center.
One munition struck an apartment building directly, while two others landed near high-rise structures.
According to Vadym Filashkin, head of the Regional Military Administration, four people are confirmed dead. Authorities are still working to determine the final consequences of the strike.
The Donetsk Prosecutor’s Office has started a pre-trial investigation into the case. The proceedings are focused on war crimes under Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Local official Vadym Lyakh provided further details on the victims.
“Thus, we have three dead from yesterday’s shelling. Among them is an 11-year-old child. Another 16 people, including a seven-year-old girl, were injured. Seven of them are in hospitals in Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Two are in serious condition, and we are planning to send them to Dnipro. All others were treated as outpatients,” Lyakh stated.
