Russian attack kills at least three in Ukraine's Kramatorsk, governor says
More than 100 firefighters joined the search as officials said the exact toll and damage from the attack are still being determined.
- On Wednesday, June 3, Russian forces launched two attacks on residential areas in Kramatorsk, killing at least three civilians, according to the Donetsk Regional Military Administration.
- The bombardment occurred amid a major surge in violence, with Russian forces carrying out 290 strikes across the Donetsk region during the 24 hours preceding the incident.
- Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, reported 11 people injured in Kramatorsk, while more than 100 firefighters conducted search-and-rescue operations at the scene.
- Elsewhere, Russian strikes near Dnipro injured eight people and triggered large fires, while authorities reported a "double tap" tactic killed a firefighter responding to initial waves of attacks.
- Analysts suggest these attacks aim to increase public pressure on Ukraine's government, as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy continues to request more air defense interceptors to counter the bombardment.
