Russians drop seven aerial bombs on Kramatorsk, killing four, injuring nine

Vadym Filashkin, Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

According to Filashkin, at around 15:00, Russian forces dropped seven aerial bombs on Kramatorsk and the village of Bilenke. One bomb struck a multi-story residential building, another hit a store, while the remaining bombs landed in a private residential area.

"At least four people were killed and nine others were injured in the attacks on the Kramatorsk community. Among the dead is a 14-year-old boy," Filashkin wrote.

He added that all relevant emergency services are working at the strike sites and that the injured are receiving the necessary medical assistance.

"We are still determining the final casualty toll and the full extent of the destruction. The Russians knew exactly where they were striking. This was yet another deliberate attack on people, on civilian neighborhoods,” Filashkin stressed.

The Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office specified that the victims also included the 18-year-old sister of the 14-year-old boy who was killed. The nine people injured are civilians between the ages of 35 and 75.

The final consequences of the strikes and the type of weapon used are still being established.

Under the procedural guidance of the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, a pre-trial investigation has been launched into a war crime under Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

As reported earlier, Sloviansk in the Donetsk region came under three Russian attacks on July 10. One strike hit a gas station, and two civilians were injured.
