Russia struck Slaviansk with three FAB-250 guided bombs yesterday morning, resulting in a 43-year-old from Kramatorsk being killed, and another local resident was injured.
Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vadim Lakh noted that damage was caused to multi-apartment buildings, cars, a postal carrier’s office, and a coworking centre.
Russia intensified assaults using artillery and FPV drones in both the Kramatorsk and Slaviansk directions, noted the spokesperson for the 11th Army Corps Dmytro Zaporozhets, noting that there was an increased threat from armoured vehicles due to the frozen ground.
“That is, if the ground freezes, it’s possible that the enemy will use armoured vehicles – according to intelligence data, such armoured vehicles have appeared on the Kramatorsk front, and, overall, we expect active assault actions,” Zaporozhets said, adding that Russia was already taking preparatory measures which included the use of tactical aviation.
One person was injured during a drone strike in the Konstiantinivka community, reported Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Sergei Gorbunov: “At the moment, due to the high activity of enemy unmanned aerial vehicles and the threat of repeated strikes, conducting a detailed inspection of the incident site is complicated,” said Gorbunov.
Head of the Regional State Administration Vadym Filashkin reported this morning that two people had died and four more were injured in the previous 24 hours, noting that those killed were in Sloviansk and Alekseevo-Druzkhivka, while injured people came from Alekseevo-Druzhkivka, Sloviansk and Konstantinivka.
Head of the Ministry Affairs for Kramatorsk Alexander Goncharenko noted that Russia had launched combined attacks on Kramatorsk the previous day, including Smerch MLRS at the private sector at 4pm, damaging residential buildings.
At 10:45pm, a Molniya-2 drone hit a car park in one of the city’s microdistricts, while Russia fired from two attack drones at the city’s private sector at 1.20am this morning, damaging at least 10 residential buildings, but there was no information about any casualties.
