Tragic Loss and Injuries in Russian Missile Strike on Kostiantynivka
In a devastating turn of events, a Russian guided missile attack on the industrial city of Kostiantynivka has claimed the life of one woman and left three others injured, according to Ukrainian officials on Saturday evening.
Investigation Underway into Civilian Casualties
The regional prosecutor's office announced via Telegram that enemy forces had targeted a residential building in Kostiantynivka, triggering a thorough investigation into the incident.
Emergency Crews Recover Victim
Ukraine's state emergency service confirmed the tragic loss of a 70-year-old woman who was trapped beneath the rubble. Rescuers have also attended to the three injured women, who have since been transported to receive medical attention.
Extensive Damage to Residential Areas
The emergency service reported substantial damage to seven apartment buildings and 14 additional structures in the vicinity of the attack.

Denials and Ongoing Conflict
