Updated:

A Russian airstrike on Oleksiyevo-Druzhkivka, a village in Ukraine's Donetsk region, injured seven people, including a 4-year-old child, on Tuesday, according to Ukrainian National Police.

The attack involved a high-explosive aerial bomb (ODAB-1500), which caused significant damage to over 100 houses, twelve cars, and a church. Oleksiyevo-Druzhkivka is situated approximately 12 kilometers from Kramatorsk, a key Ukrainian-held city in the region. The Office of the Prosecutor General reported that Russian troops targeted private houses, leading to the casualties. The injured, including a mother and her son, received immediate medical assistance. Authorities have launched a pre-trial investigation into the attack as a violation of the laws and customs of war. The Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office is overseeing the investigation, and local authorities are continuing to inspect the scene for further damage.
