Russian forces attacked a residential area in Kramatorsk on April 26, killing two civilians and wounding another, the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor’s Office reported.
A man and a woman sustained fatal injuries in the attack. According to law enforcement officials, both victims were outdoors at the time of the strike.
A 50-year-old man was also injured, suffering a mine-blast injury, a fracture, and shrapnel wounds. He is reportedly in moderate condition.
The Russian strike damaged at least eight residential buildings. Authorities are currently working to determine the specific type of weaponry used in the assault and the full extent of the destruction.
The deadly strike in Kramatorsk follows a massive overnight aerial assault across the country. In the early hours of April 26, the Russian military launched 144 strike drones—including Shahed, Gerbera, and Italmas models—from six different directions.
Ukrainian air defense forces shot down or suppressed 124 of the drones. However, 19 drones struck targets at 11 separate locations, and falling debris was recorded at six additional sites across Ukraine.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
