At least seven injured in Russian aerial bombing of Sloviansk
"There may be people trapped under the rubble," President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a social media post.
On October 11, Russian forces launched an aerial attack on the city of Sloviansk, causing at least seven casualties. The attack occurred around 10:00 Kyiv time, with three FAB-250 bombs dropped on a residential area, according to Sloviansk Mayor Vadym Lyakh, who shared the news on Facebook.
Following the strike, President Volodymyr Zelensky detailed the damage in a Telegram post, stating that the Russians targeted a five-storey block of flats in Sloviansk. The entrance hall of the building was completely destroyed, and there may be individuals trapped under the debris, Zelinsky warned.
Zelensky also highlighted the ongoing pattern of Russian aggression, stating that over 1,450 aerial bombs, 75 missiles, and more than 1,640 attack drones have been launched by the Russians during the week. Around 60% of these attacks were conducted using jet-powered drones.
Mayor Lyakh confirmed that seven people were known to have been injured, with three requiring hospitalization. In addition, another individual sustained injuries from shelling in a separate residential area.
Lyakh urged residents to stay vigilant and united in the face of the ongoing conflict. "Take care of yourselves. Let’s stay strong. We’re in this together," Lyakh wrote.
