On July 12, 2026, a Russian missile strike hit the city of Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine, causing multiple fires. Rescue workers spent approximately three hours dealing with the aftermath, extinguishing the blazes and clearing debris.
According to local officials, the strike targeted residential areas, but no casualties have been reported as of the latest updates. The fires were brought under control by emergency services, who worked through the morning.
Kramatorsk, a key city in the Donetsk region, has been frequently targeted by Russian forces since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022. The attack is part of ongoing hostilities in the area.
