Russian airstrike on Sloviansk kills 4, wounds 17 including teenage girl

Russian forces killed four people and injured 17 others, including a 14-year-old girl, in an airstrike on the central part of Sloviansk in the Donetsk Oblast on the morning of March 10, according to the Office of the Prosecutor General and Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration.

“On the morning of March 10, 2026, Russian troops struck Sloviansk. The occupiers targeted densely populated residential areas, where one munition hit a block of apartments and two more struck near multi-story buildings,” the statement of the office reads.

The aftermath of the Russian attack

Authorities reported two civilians were killed and 17 were injured, including a 14-year-old child.

Six multi-story buildings and about 10 cars were damaged in the strike.

A pre-trial investigation was launched under the procedural guidance of the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor’s Office into a war crime under Article 438.2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Authorities are still assessing the full extent of the attack.

To provide background, the Netherlands and key European powers are deliberately stalling the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute Russian leaders for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, despite repeated promises that it would be established by the end of 2025, European Pravda has found. The Hague has presented partners with an unrealistically high budget — including €70 million for a detention facility — while major European capitals use financial uncertainty as an excuse to leave the process in limbo.
