Details: On the morning of 7 July, Russian forces attacked the village of Kindrativka in the Druzhkivka hromada with an FPV drone, leaving a 75-year-old pensioner with shrapnel wounds and blast injuries. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

At 10:50, Russian troops launched another FPV drone strike, this time targeting a civilian car in the settlement of Krasnotorka in the Kramatorsk district. Two women aged 50 and 53 sustained blast injuries, bruises and closed head injuries and were suffering from concussion. A car was damaged.

Miedviedieva reported that at 12:25, the Russians struck the settlement again, this time using an Uragan multiple-launch rocket system. A munition hit a residential area, injuring a 61-year-old man and his 51-year-old wife at their home. The couple sustained blast and shrapnel injuries. Three houses were damaged.

At 12:45, Russian forces also targeted the village of Spasko-Mykhailivka in the Novodonetske hromada with a Molniya-2 drone. A 64-year-old man sustained blast injuries and shrapnel wounds.

Pre-trial investigations have been launched under Article 438.1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (violation of the laws and customs of war), Miedviedieva added.
