Kramatorsk is located about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the front line and regularly comes under drone attacks as well as artillery shelling.

Kramatorsk and Sloviansk are the two largest cities in Donbas still under Ukrainian control. Russian authorities call their capture or voluntary surrender a mandatory condition for ending the war.
