Russian airstrike on Kramatorsk wounds 12 civilians, including child

A Russian airstrike struck central Kramatorsk, injuring 12 civilians including an eight-year-old boy, according to local officials. The attack adds to ongoing Russian bombardment of the Donetsk region city.

Kramatorsk, a major city in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, remains a frequent target of Russian airstrikes despite being under Ukrainian control. The city has been repeatedly attacked throughout the war, with strikes often hitting civilian areas and infrastructure. Such incidents underscore the continued threat to civilian populations in frontline and near-frontline areas of Ukraine.

Attacks on civilian populations in Ukrainian cities represent potential war crimes and illustrate the humanitarian toll of Russia's ongoing military operations. The targeting of children and non-combatants strengthens documentation of alleged violations of international humanitarian law.
