On August 31, a Russian FAB-500 aerial bomb struck the city of Sloviansk in Donetsk Oblast, injuring four individuals, according to Vadym Liakh, head of the Sloviansk City Military Administration. The explosion targeted the central area of the city around 4:20 a.m. The attack caused significant damage, destroying a portion of an apartment building from the first to fifth floors and a private residence.
In addition, 32 apartment buildings, a hotel, a kindergarten, and various vehicles sustained damage. Four people were reported injured and received medical attention. This incident occurred days after Russian forces targeted central Sloviansk on August 26, damaging residential buildings and a historic printing house over 100 years old.
Russia also initiated a wider aerial assault on Ukraine on August 30-31, employing a Kh-59 guided air-launched missile, 121 Shahed attack drones, Gerbera drones, and Parodiya decoys. Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepted or electronically neutralized 96 Shahed, Gerbera, and other drones across northern, southern, eastern, and central Ukraine. However, the Kh-59 missile missed its intended target.
