This was reported on the air of a telethon by the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin, summing up the results of the past day, February 11.

According to him, "such attacks have never happened before."

"The occupying Russian army is shelling with all available types of weapons: cannon artillery, FPV drones, the enemy dropped 25 guided aerial bombs on Kostyantynivka, Druzhkivka and the city of Pokrovsk. The town of Kostyantynivka, its center and surroundings, almost do not exist. 91 people were able to be taken out of the front line, 18 of them are children," the official said.

According to him, the authorities, police units, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the State Emergency Service are working on the ground, fulfilling their duties. Municipal services, together with philanthropists, are distributing humanitarian aid, including building materials, to people whose homes were damaged.

Filashkin also added that in every town, large and small, there are Invincibility Points.

In addition, people in the frontline zone have long-term storage products, and the defenders are delivering drinking water to them if possible, the head of the Regional Military Administration noted.

  • On February 9, the Russian army struck rescuers in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region with an FPV drone, as a result of which one of them was injured.
