Devastating strike in Dobropillya causes destruction and multiple casualties as tensions rise in the region.
In a tragic incident late Friday, Ukrainian authorities confirmed that a Russian strike on Dobropillya, a town located in the Donetsk region, led to the deaths of at least 11 individuals and injured 30 more. The Ukrainian emergency service indicated that the attack resulted in significant damage, with eight residential buildings and a local administrative structure being severely affected. Dobropillya is situated to the north-west of the city of Donetsk, which is under Russian control.
The assault was particularly perilous, as Russian forces reportedly launched a second strike targeting emergency responders who were already at the scene dealing with the aftermath of the initial blast. This attack compounds the already dire situation in the area, following reports of intensified fighting with Ukrainian prosecutors noting five fatalities from Russian assaults on Thursday night.
The conflict continues to escalate, with Ukrainian towns bearing the brunt of violent military exchanges.
