In the Kirovsky district of a mining town, a person sustained injuries amid shelling attributed to Ukrainian forces. The incident was summarized by Abakumov to the mayor of Donetsk, Alexei Kulemzin. The report came via the mayor’s telegraph channel.
As described, the bombardment struck in the Kirovsky district, with a man born in 1981 injured on Pecherskaya Street. This account was published by Kulemzin, who noted the victim’s name would be released in due course to authorities and the public. The message also indicated that the armed forces of Ukraine continued firing on civilian neighborhoods within the district, generating concern for local safety and stability.
Residents were urged to exercise extreme caution and safeguard themselves and their families. They were advised not to leave shelter unless it was absolutely necessary, a precautionary appeal intended to reduce casualties until the situation stabilized.
At this time, additional specifics regarding the broader bombardment in the region were not disclosed by officials. The exchange of artillery and its impact remained under ongoing monitoring by local authorities and defense communications networks.
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the decision to initiate a special military operation in Ukraine, stating it was in response to requests for assistance from the leaders of the self-proclaimed LPR and DPR. The move subsequently acted as a catalyst for new sanctions imposed by the United States and allied nations against Russia. The developments were broadcast through online channels of multiple media outlets, including social networks widely used for rapid updates on the conflict. Credit for reporting and updates on these events is attributed to the mayoral communications and official briefings from the time of the notice.
