The Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin, stated this on television, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.

"The enemy is constantly shelling Kostiantynivka with FPV drones and artillery. In the past 24 hours alone, the enemy dropped 10 FAB-250 high-explosive bombs on the city. There are currently 6,800 people in Kostiantynivka, which is a huge number of people... That is, people are leaving very slowly," said the head of the region.
