Strike details available
Russian forces attacked Kramatorsk with a drone during the day, hitting a post office building. The building was damaged, while the full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
Preliminary information says at least one person was killed and six others were injured. All relevant emergency services are working at the scene, providing the injured with the necessary assistance.
Filashkin stressed that Russia had once again struck a place where people go about their everyday business.
"Once again, the Russians struck a place where people come to take care of their everyday affairs. This is how the enemy tries to turn any ordinary moment into a deadly danger," he said.
The regional military administration chief urged residents of Donetsk region to move to safer parts of Ukraine.
As previously reported, Kramatorsk has come under attack almost daily due to its proximity to the front line. On August 13 alone, the Russian army attacked the city and the village of Bilenke eight times with guided aerial bombs, killing one person and injuring 15 others.
On August 4, at least 22 people were injured in an airstrike on the city center.
