The Russian army dropped an aerial bomb on an apartment building in Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region, on the evening of May 7. Twelve people were injured, and one woman is believed to be trapped under the rubble, informs the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office.
On May 7, at 10:50 p.m. (Kyirv time), Russian forces attacked Kostyantynivka using a FAB-250 bomb equipped with a UMPC (Universal Planning and Correction Module).
“The weapon struck a multi-apartment residential building. As a result of the airstrike, three men aged 46, 47, and 74, and a 47-year-old woman were injured. They were diagnosed with blast injuries, shrapnel wounds, bruises, and hypothermia,” the statement says.

“Another city resident is likely still under the rubble. Three apartment buildings and a store in the settlement were also damaged,” the Prosecutor’s Office added.
Attacks on Kostyantynivka
Kostyantynivka is a city in the Kramatorsk district of the Donetsk region and serves as the center of the Kostyantynivka city community. It was occupied by Russian forces in 2014 and liberated on July 5, 2014, during Ukraine’s National Guard and military units' Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO).
Currently, Russian forces are constantly attacking Kostyantynivka. For instance, in April, Russia carried out 10 airstrikes on the city, damaging key infrastructure, including the DTEK (Ukraine's energy company) power grid. One person was injured in that attack.
Russian forces also attacked a convoy of vehicles carrying evacuees from a village near Kostyantynivka. The strike specifically targeted civilians, resulting in casualties.
