Early reports indicate that Russia used FAB-250 aerial bombs fitted with UMPK kits, which convert unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions. A shop, a business and an infrastructure facility were hit.
According to the prosecutor's office, as of 13:50, eight injured civilians aged between 41 and 84 are known to have been affected by the attack. Four men and four women have been diagnosed with blast and closed craniocerebral injuries, concussion, contusions and lacerations. They are receiving medical treatment.
Update: At 16:50, Filashkin reported that the number injured in the latest Russian strikes on Kramatorsk has risen to 11.
All the appropriate emergency services are working at the scenes.
Quote from Filashkin: "The Russians are once again striking cities in broad daylight – shops, businesses, residential neighbourhoods.
It is dangerous to stay in Donetsk Oblast! Stay safe and evacuate to safer oblasts!"
