Early in the morning, Donetsk faced a fresh barrage that involved ten artillery rounds, including two cluster munitions. The information comes from the Telegram channel linked to the DPR representation at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Matters Related to War Crimes of Ukraine (JCCC).
The JCCC reported that the bombardment began at 01:10, targeting the Karlovka settlement in the Kievsky district of Donetsk. It noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired three shells, each measuring 155 millimeters in caliber, in this initial volley.
Between 01:20 and 01:35, another sequence of fire was recorded, with five additional 155-millimeter shells launched toward the same area. Shortly after, at 01:45, Ukrainian troops released two cluster shells of the same caliber, increasing the intensity of the attack in a short period.
On September 24, Donetsk mayor Alexey Kulemzin reported that four people sustained injuries due to the bombardment carried out by Ukrainian armed forces. The incident added to a rising tally of casualties and property damage attributed to the ongoing hostilities in the city.
During the morning hours of the same day, the mayor indicated that Ukrainian forces had launched several attacks across the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk. Initial assessments described damage to multiple apartment buildings along Kosmonavtov Street, with a fire breaking out in a private residence as a result of a direct strike.
Earlier in the day, reports from the region indicated that Ukrainian forces conducted additional air or ground operations in the vicinity of Shebekino, a border town in the Belgorod region. The sequence of events underscored the ongoing tension and the volatile security situation that continues to affect nearby communities.
