Russian attacks kill 4, including a 17-year-old teen, in the Donetsk Oblast
At least three people were killed and four were injured in a Russian attack on Kramatorsk in the Donetsk Oblast on June 21, 2025, according to Vadym Filashkin, Head of the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration, the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor’s Office, and Oleksandr Honcharenko, Head of the Kramatorsk City Military Administration.
According to Honcharenko, rescuers had recovered the bodies of three people from under the rubble of a multi-story building in Kramatorsk as of 4:50 p.m.
Medics took four people to the hospital, and one remains in critical condition.
Filashkin reported that a 62-year-old man died in the attack. He also said that the Russian strike injured a 14-year-old girl, among others. The attack also injured two men aged 69 and 85.
Doctors diagnosed the injured with closed head injuries, blast injuries, concussion, fractures, shrapnel wounds and multiple contusions.
The prosecutor’s office reported that Russian forces struck the city with a 250-kilogram high-explosive aerial bomb with a guided module. The attack damaged five multi-story buildings and 32 residential houses.
Russian forces launched yet another attack on the town of Sloviansk in Donetsk Oblast on the night of 21-22 June, killing a 17-year-old boy and injuring three people, according to Filashkin.
ZMINA continues to report on the ongoing international crimes in the Donetsk Oblast.
Ukraine urges the international community to unite to restore global security under the UN Charter and strengthen sanctions against Russia to enforce compliance with international law. Following Russia’s initial invasion in 2014, Ukraine has pursued the liberation of its territories within its internationally recognised 1991 borders while developing comprehensive reintegration strategies and policies for all liberated areas.
Previously, Bohdan Bernatskyy, a member of the Sanctions Policy Working Group of the Crimean Platform Expert Network, revealed at the Third Parliamentary Summit in Latvia that over 1,300 Russian military companies and 2 million industrial workers continue to operate in Russian military equipment production, many without international restrictions.
By way of background, the war in Ukraine has not ended 24 hours after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, as he promised. His further attempts to facilitate an unconditional ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine have also failed.
