7 people were injured when Russian aircraft struck a residential part of Slovyansk in Ukraine's Donetsk region on Sunday 11 October, Mayor Vadym Lyakh said. Two apartment buildings were hit in the morning attack, and an entire entrance section of one five-storey block was destroyed.
Lyakh initially reported four wounded, then raised the figure to seven. He said the attack occurred at around 09:45 and involved three FAB-250 aerial bombs. Seven other apartment buildings and a shop were also damaged, according to Ukrainian news reports.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said people might remain trapped beneath the wreckage of the damaged five-storey building. The supplied reporting did not establish how many, if any, people were still missing or whether search teams had located anyone.
Ukrainska Pravda and NV.ua reported the updated casualty figure, attributing it to the mayor. The number of people injured in this attack should not be combined with figures from separate Russian strikes elsewhere in Donetsk region.
