Shelling in Donetsk region claims more civilian lives
Summary
A retrospective on Russian shelling of Toretsk and Kurakhove in the Donetsk region in early December 2022.
What did the fighting in the Donetsk region mean for civilians on 8 December 2022? On that date, Russian forces shelled the front line in the region, killing one civilian and damaging buildings in Toretsk.
The attack followed a deadlier one a day earlier. On 7 December 2022, Russian shelling of Kurakhove, in Donetsk Oblast, killed ten civilians and injured five others.
Taken together, the two reports show how shelling in the Donetsk region was reaching towns and residents there during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The reports from the two days record eleven civilian deaths across Kurakhove and Toretsk, along with injuries and damaged buildings.
