Late on the evening of May 7, the russian army dropped an aerial bomb on a high-rise building in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk Region. 12 people are known to have been injured.
The Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, which has launched an investigation into the fact of a war crime, has reported this.
The russians used a FAB-250 with an UMPK module to attack the high-rise building. Such bombs are used to destroy buildings and fortifications.
Three men and a woman were diagnosed with mine-explosive injuries, shrapnel wounds, bruising and hypothermia. These are men aged 46, 47 and 74 and a woman aged 47. Eight more people aged 41 to 75 received minor injuries.
The residents of the house were trapped, but they were quickly rescued. Another woman is likely under the rubble.
The attack damaged 3 apartment buildings and a store.
As a reminder, as of now, 175 children remain in communities in the Donetsk Region that are classified as active fighting zones.
A three-day ceasefire proposed by russia began on May 8. Zelenskyy criticized it as a political show and insists on a ceasefire of at least 30 days, since it is impossible to reach real agreements in a shorter period.
