Russian glide bombs kill one, injure 18 in Kramatorsk; war crimes probe opened

Russian forces have struck the city of Kramatorsk with eight FAB-250 glide bombs, killing one person and injuring 18 others, according to a report. Ukrainian prosecutors have opened a war crimes investigation into the attack.

The strike is described as the latest in a series of attacks that have hit residential blocks across Donetsk Oblast. The report provides limited details, but the launch of an investigation indicates that authorities are documenting the circumstances and collecting evidence.

War crimes investigations typically involve examining the scene, interviewing witnesses, and identifying those responsible. This step signals that the attack is being treated not only as a military action but also as a possible violation of international law.

Donetsk Oblast has long experienced shelling and airstrikes, and this latest use of guided bombs again draws attention to the situation in the region. Further information about damage and casualties has not yet been made public.
