A search is currently underway in the remains of a hotel in Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, to recover a missing person who was trapped under the rubble after Russian troops attacked the building. The attack wounded three journalists – Ukrainian, American, and British – with two being taken to hospital for treatment. The journalists were part of a war coverage team in Ukraine.
The journalists were staying at Hotel Sapphire, which was hit by an apparent missile strike by Russian forces. The injured journalists suffered from a variety of injuries, including mind-blast trauma, concussion, broken leg, and cut wounds. The attack also caused damage to a nearby high-rise building.
In addition to the attack in Kramatorsk, the Kharkiv region also came under fire from Russian forces, resulting in multiple civilian injuries. Reports indicate that in Chuhuiv, five people were injured, including a 4-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl. In Kharkiv city, eight people were wounded when a two-story house was set on fire by a Russian attack. Other areas, such as Balakliia and Kupiansk, also experienced destruction and injuries due to Russian strikes.
The Russian Federation reportedly used an Iskander-M missile to strike Kramatorsk, according to the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office. The attacks have caused fear and devastation among residents in the affected areas, with many describing the explosions as indescribable and causing significant damage to homes and buildings.
