Russians strike Kostiantynivka: three killed, several wounded - photos
On Wednesday afternoon, September 11, Russian forces struck Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk Oblast, resulting in deaths and injuries, the Office of the Prosecutor General reported.
The aggressor state's troops shelled the city with tube artillery for 20 minutes. As a result, two women aged 73 and 81 were killed.
Later, the Russians launched another attack on the settlement - presumably using the Smerch multiple launch rocket system - hitting residential areas.
The enemy attack killed a 45-year-old woman in her yard and injured five other civilians, three men and two women. The victims were taken to the hospital with blast and craniocerebral injuries, shrapnel wounds, lacerations, and fractures.
Over 20 private and multi-apartment residential buildings, commercial establishments, power lines, and vehicles were damaged.
Law enforcement officials have initiated a pre-trial investigation into criminal proceedings regarding violations of the laws and customs of war.
