Russian attacks against Donetsk Oblast’s Bakhmut and Kramatorsk districts killed two women and wounded a man on Nov. 8, the regional prosecutor’s office reported.

Russian troops shelled the village of Rai-Oleksandrivka, around 30 kilometers east of Kramatorsk, killing a 62-year-old woman in her home, the prosecutors said on Telegram.

Another woman, aged 59, was reportedly killed in a Russian strike on Pivnichne on the outskirts of Toretsk.

Russian forces also targeted Chasiv Yar near Bakhmut using Grad multiple-launch rocket systems, according to the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor’s Office. Following the attack, a 51-year-old man was hospitalized with a broken arm and concussion.

Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine has killed over 1,700 residents of Donetsk Oblast and wounded around 4,300 since Feb. 24, 2022, acting regional governor Ihor Moroz said on Nov. 8.

However, the actual number of victims is likely significantly higher since the figures published by Moroz do not account for territories still under Russian occupation.

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?

Trump 'very surprised, disappointed' at Russian attacks on Ukraine amid peace talks.

"I've gotten to see things I was very surprised at. Rockets being shot into cities like Kyiv during a negotiation that was maybe very close to ending," Trump said during a news conference in the Oval Office. "All of a sudden rockets got shot into a couple of cities and people died. I saw thing I was surprised at and I don't like being surprised, so I'm very disappointed in that way."
