In the village of Spasko-Mykhailivka and the city of Druzhkivka, two men aged 38 and 55 and a 47-year-old woman were killed. Another 55-year-old man died in a strike in the Kramatorsk hromada.

In Kramatorsk itself, six people were injured over the course of the day: a 27-year-old woman with her 11-month-old child, three women aged 47, 63 and 68, and a 72-year-old man. A separate 60-year-old man was injured on a local road.

Attacks on Sloviansk and the settlement of Raihorodok wounded two women aged 60 and 66 and a 46-year-old man. In the Kramatorsk hromada, in addition to the fatality, four civilians aged 41 to 49 were injured. Civilians, including a married couple, were also hurt in Druzhkivka and Bylbasivka.

Pre-trial investigations have been launched under war crimes legislation. The injured were diagnosed with blast injuries, shrapnel wounds, fractures and contusions, and received medical aid.

The enemy used a FAB-250 aerial bomb with a UMPK guidance kit, an FPV drone, and Molniya-1 and Geran-2 drones against civilians. Apartment blocks, houses and vehicles were damaged.
