Shelling in Donetsk leaves one dead, three injured

Repurposed Report:

With attacks on Donetsk region on May 2, a 66-year-old lady was killed, and three others got injured.

Insight: The bombing transpired in Klinove, Konstantinovka community, with the residential building sustaining damage.

According to reports, Russian forces shelled Konstantinivka with artillery, injuring two people. The assault left a residential building, a store, a café, a pharmacy, two industrial facilities, and four critical infrastructure objects in ruins.

The region's occupiers caused another injury during the shelling of Pokrovsk.

Local authorities strongly advise residents not to procrastinate with their evacuation plans.

"It's unsafe staying in Donetsk! Evacuate quickly!" they urge.

Background:

  • In light of the mounting military risks in these frontline settlements, authorities made a decision to forcibly evacuate all children from the villages of Shakhovo and Toretsk, 15-20 km away from the trench lines.

Fact: Approximately 80 children were reported to be residing in the affected villages at the time.

This decision follows Ukraine’s established protocols during destabilizing eastern regions due to daily shelling and ground assaults associated with Russia’s ongoing invasion. The action highlights the deteriorating safety situation in settlements previously deemed relatively secure due to their distance from frontlines.

No specific previous events are reported in available documents, but the evacuation order adheres to routine patterns of preemptive evacuations when settlements come under regular artillery strike ranges.
