At 08:30, the Russians bombarded the area with artillery. A 41-year-old man was hurt, suffering  a blast injury and concussion; his injuries were deemed minor.

Around 09:00, a drone strike targeted an 88-year-old woman in her garden. She was diagnosed with concussion, a blast injury and closed traumatic brain injury. An ambulance crew provided on-site treatment.

At approximately 09:30, Russian forces struck employees of one of the city’s municipal companies with a drone. An explosive was dropped on their vehicle, killing a 53-year-old man. His 32-year-old colleague suffered a blast injury and both his legs were amputated.

During the rescue operation, an emergency medical aid team was caught in a double-tap strike. As medics tended to the wounded woman, a drone attacked them too.
