Three ambulances hit, a woman killed at home: 25 minutes of Russian drone attacks on Kramatorsk
The strikes on medical vehicles and a high-rise are now under investigation as war crimes.
On 5 October, Russian FPV drones targeted three ambulances and a residential high-rise in Kramatorsk, according to the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor's Office. The strike on the high-rise resulted in the death of a 49-year-old woman and injuries to another resident, aged 68. Three medical workers were wounded while attempting to save the ambulances.
Prosecutors have launched war-crimes investigations following these incidents. Russian drone attacks on Ukrainian civilians are a daily occurrence, with Ukraine's UN envoy citing repeated strikes on medics as grounds to strip Moscow of its Security Council seat. Kramatorsk, Kherson, and Nikopol are among the cities where drone operators target civilian locations in real time.
Between 22:00 and 22:25, the Russian army deliberately directed two FPV drones towards ambulances parked on a Kramatorsk street. Three ambulance workers sustained injuries, including blast injuries, shrapnel wounds, burns, and concussions. The drones used in these attacks are piloted by operators monitoring live camera feeds until impact.
A woman was killed at home when a Russian drone struck a residential high-rise in Kramatorsk at 22:10. The victim was a 49-year-old woman, while another resident, aged 68, suffered a broken foot, shrapnel wounds, and a concussion. The Kramatorsk district prosecutor's office has initiated criminal proceedings over war crimes.
