Russia's attack on Druzhkivka kills 7 civilians
The head of the regional OVA, Vadym Filashkin, reports on the consequences of the enemy attack.
According to him, the Russian army shelled Druzhkivka with cluster shells.
The Russian invaders hit the market directly, where there is always a massive crowd of people in the morning.
This is yet another deliberate war crime and further proof that all of Russia's claims of a "truce" are worthless. The final death toll from this attack has not yet been determined — I will report any significant updates in due course.

"I call on all Donetsk residents again and again: evacuate to safer regions! Take care of yourself and your loved ones!" Filashkin wrote.
