Death toll from Russian attack on Dobropillia rises to 11

Ukraine's State Emergency Service (SES) in the Donetsk region reported the updated toll on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"In the evening, the enemy launched a devastating strike on the central part of Dobropillia, killing at least 11 people and injuring 30. The attack damaged eight five-story residential buildings, an administrative building, and 30 vehicles. Fires broke out in two apartment buildings and the administrative building," the statement read.

During firefighting efforts, Russian forces struck again -- likely with a Shahed drone -- near the response site, damaging a fire truck.

Despite the continued danger, emergency crews are still working at the scene. Firefighters have contained a blaze affecting 20 apartments in a five-story residential building, spanning 500 square meters, and have extinguished three additional fires.

Earlier, Ukrinform reported that Russian forces had struck Dobropillia three times, with initial reports confirming four deaths and 18 injuries.
