On the morning of September 10, Russian troops delivered a series of strikes on Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast. According to the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, 19 people were injured as a result of the attacks, including an eight-month-old infant. Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, reported that around 11:00 the occupiers shelled the city four times; impacts were recorded near educational institutions and an apartment building. Emergency services are working at the scene, medical assistance is being provided to the injured, and the final consequences of the attacks are being established.
Timeline and nature of the strikes
According to updated data from the prosecutor's office, Russian troops used six FAB-250 aerial bombs with modular penetrating cluster munitions (UMPK) against Kramatorsk. The injured were diagnosed with blast injuries and shrapnel wounds. The impacts near residential and educational buildings explain the wide radius of damage and the significant number of casualties, including children.
Contradictory data
Various media outlets and agencies cite conflicting figures both on the number of munitions used and on the number of casualties. The prosecutor's office and RBC-Ukraine report six FAB-250 bombs and 19 injured (16 were initially reported). Interfax, citing the prosecutor's office, points to five aerial bombs and four injured, while Korrespondent reports four FAB-250 bombs, one of which hit an apartment building. The portal "Pravda" reports nine FAB-250 bombs and 24 injured, however the publication date in its link (August 25, 2026) does not match the date of the described attack (September 10), which may indicate a different incident. Thus, the fact of the strike and the presence of casualties, including an infant, is confirmed by all sources, while the exact figures remain a matter of discrepancy.
Context: strike on an enterprise in Dnipro
On the same day, Russian drones attacked the "Oleinа" enterprise located in the center of Dnipro, which, according to reports, belongs to the American international corporation Bunge. The incident demonstrates the expansion of the geography of strikes on infrastructure and industrial facilities in different regions of Ukraine.
As of 14:20, the number of injured in Kramatorsk stood at 19 people. The final results of the attack and data on the damage to the building and educational institutions will be clarified upon completion of the work of services at the scene.
