34 people were killed in a Russian missile attack on a five-story residential building in Chasovy Yar, Donetsk region. This was announced by the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration (OVA) Pavel Kirilenko.

One child was among the dead, he said. Another 9 people were injured. As of the morning of July 12, rescuers cleared about 70% of the rubble.

The Russian military attacked Chasovoy Yar on the evening of July 9th. According to Kirilenko, the shelling was carried out with rockets from Uragans.

Since the first day of the war, the Russian side has been claiming that it is only attacking the military infrastructure of Ukraine. In fact, it regularly shells civilian targets. So on July 3, the Russian military attacked Slavyansk. The mayor of the city, Vadim Lyakh, said that it was "the largest shelling of the city in recent times." Also, Russia regularly attacks Nikolaev. According to the mayor of the city Alexander Senkevich, during the war, Russian troops caused damage to Nikolaev in the amount of 633 million hryvnias ($21.4 million).
