Russian forces launched an airstrike on a residential neighborhood in Sloviansk, Donetsk Oblast, on October 22, injuring five people, including two children, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service reported.
The injured children are 8 and 13 years old.
The strike damaged six apartment buildings, a hotel, a shop, and multiple vehicles, setting seven cars and the hotel’s roof on fire before first responders extinguished the blaze.
In separate attacks throughout the day, Russian artillery shelling also ignited fires on the second floor of a high-rise building and inside a private home. First responders successfully extinguished all the blazes.
Russian forces previously launched FAB-250 aerial bombs on a residential neighborhood in Sloviansk overnight on October 17, damaging eight apartment buildings and partially destroying two of them. The attack killed seven people and injured 12 others.
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.
