Quote from Filashkin: "Among the injured is a nine-year-old girl who received a shrapnel wound at her place of residence. We had evacuated the child and her family to a safer place, but in March, the family returned to Kostiantynivka.

Once again, I call on all Donetsk Oblast residents, especially parents, to be responsible! Evacuate in a timely manner! Save the lives of yourself and your children!"

Details: The prosecutor's office reports that at 10:30 on Monday, the Russian army conducted two airstrikes on Kostiantynivka. As a result of the attack, a woman was injured. She was diagnosed with a mine-blast injury, a fracture and abrasions. The woman received medical assistance.

Less than an hour later, a residential area came under Russian attack. As a result of the strike, an 83-year-old woman sustained fatal injuries.

Early reports indicate that the Russians used a UMPB-250 unified multi-purpose glide bomb.

After another two hours, the Russians shelled the town with cannon artillery. A nine-year-old girl sustained a mine-blast injury, shrapnel wound and a broken leg.

Donetsk Oblast Military Administration reports that eight houses, three administrative buildings, a shop and a power line were damaged in the town.
