Russian forces carried out attacks against Toretsk, Petropavlivka, and Molodenke in Donetsk Oblast on Sept. 21, injuring three men and two women, the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported.
Russia targeted the town of Toretsk with artillery, hitting a house and injuring a 52-year-old man who suffered head wounds as a result, the prosecutors said.
According to the report, Russian forces also targeted the village of Petropavlivka in the Volnovakha district with rockets. A 36-year-old woman and a 56-year-old man reportedly suffered shrapnel injuries in the attack.
In the Molodenke village of the Pokrovsk district, Russian attacks injured a 79-year-old man and his 81-year-old wife who were in their garden at the time of the attack.
Donetsk Oblast has been partially occupied by Russia since 2014 and suffers regular strikes by the invading forces. On Sept. 20, Russian troops attacked Toretsk and its outskirts Pivnichne, injuring four people.

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?
