The death toll from the Russian strike on downtown Kramatorsk on July 31 has risen to four, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said on Telegram on Aug. 3.

A Russian missile strike on Kramatorsk killed at least four people and injured 13.

Rescuers said one body was recovered from under the rubble of a five-story residential building, where the strike destroyed two entrances and ignited a fire.

Emergency crews dismantled more than 185 tons of collapsed building structures. The blaze, which covered an area of 1,200 square meters, has been fully extinguished.
