Russian attacks in Donetsk Oblast, in eastern Ukraine, killed five civilians on 7 November, and five other people were injured. The figures were reported by Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration, the regional authority that provides updates on the consequences of attacks under wartime conditions.
Where the victims died
According to Filashkin, three people were killed in Kramatorsk, one in Bilenke and one in Druzhkivka. He said another five people in the oblast were wounded over the past day.
The administration also published a photograph showing destruction in Donetsk Oblast as of the morning of 7 November. The source does not specify what weapons were used in the attacks, and it gives no further details about the individual incidents.
Why it matters
The report shows that Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine continues to claim civilian lives in Donetsk Oblast. Regional officials regularly publish daily tallies of the dead and injured, and these figures are one way the war's toll on the civilian population is documented.
