One of the injured is in critical condition.

Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast is the site of the war’s fiercest fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces, as Russia is trying to seize the entire region.

According to Donetsk Oblast Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko, an estimated total of at least 1,405 civilians in the region have been killed since the start of the full-scale invasion, and at least 3,158 have been injured.
