In the Donetsk region, Russian troops have once again shelled Kostyantynivka using a Smerch multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), an FAB-250 aerial bomb, and FPV drones, leaving several civilians injured.

Serhii Horbunov, head of the Kostiantynivka City Military Administration, reported the attack on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"Two more enemy strikes were recorded in Kostiantynivka. The first attack was carried out with a Smerch MLRS rocket. […] The second strike involved an FAB-250 aerial bomb that hit a residential apartment building directly. One civilian sustained minor injuries. There is also information suggesting that another person may be trapped under the rubble," Horbunov wrote.

He added that the Smerch attack caused no casualties, but damaged the facades of two private houses, three garages, and two outbuildings.

The FAB-250 strike damaged two apartment building facades and four private homes.

In a follow-up post, Horbunov said: "Information has come in that two more civilians were injured inside their homes due to enemy FPV drone attacks on Kostiantynivka."
