A 9-year-old girl and a 57-year-old woman were injured by Russian shelling in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk Oblast, on June 17, the Prosecutor General's Office reported.

Russia struck the city with artillery, damaging 11 residential buildings, a garage, a gas pipeline, and electricity networks.

Kostiantynivka, a city near Ukraine's eastern front, has regularly been the target of indiscriminate shelling by Russia since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
