On September 25, the Russian military dropped two guided aerial bombs on the city of Kramatorsk in Ukraine’s Donetsk region. According to Governor Vadym Filashkin, the attack killed at least two people and injured at least 19, including multiple children. Two apartment buildings were reportedly damaged by the strikes. “This is another war crime by the Russians and another sad reminder that there are no longer any safe places in the Donetsk region. Take care of yourselves! Evacuate!” Filashkin wrote on Telegram. Meduza shares photos of the attack’s aftermath.
