Filashkin noted that Wednesday’s attack on Kramatorsk is another reminder that there are no safe places left in the Donetsk region. Kramatorsk and nearby Slovyansk are one of the last large cities in the Donbass, over which Kyiv has control. Kramatorsk is located 20 to 30 kilometers from the front line, and has repeatedly been the target of Russian strikes since the beginning of the Russian invasion.
Meanwhile, the head of the administration of the Ukrainian Kharkiv region, Oleh Synehubov, announced that the number of victims of Tuesday’s Russian attack on the second largest Ukrainian city of Kharkiv had increased from three to four. “Rescuers recovered the body of a dead woman,” the official said in a telegram. According to the BBC’s Russian-language website, the mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terechov, specified that the rescuers pulled the woman out of the rubble of a partially collapsed nine-story residential building.
On Tuesday, according to the Ukrainska pravda server, the Russians hit the residential areas of Kharkiv with eight FAB-500 aerial bombs, and the strike left four dead and more than three dozen injured. The Russian army did not comment on the strike on Kharkiv, the BBC noted.
