During the night of July 1-2, Russian forces launched a drone attack on the Kramatorsk urban community using five Shahed-type (Geran-2) kamikaze drones, resulting in widespread destruction.
According to the Kramatorsk City Council, which reported the attack on Telegram, the strike caused critical damage to the city’s art school, which took a direct hit.
Additionally, 41 apartment buildings suffered damage from blast waves and debris, with windows shattered and roofs impacted.
The strike also affected two municipal educational institutions and several non-residential infrastructure facilities. Fortunately, no civilian casualties were reported.
Municipal workers spent the day clearing the aftermath, and affected households are receiving aid from humanitarian organizations. Residents are also eligible to apply for compensation through Ukraine’s eRecovery government program.
Earlier reports said that Russian forces attacked seven settlements in the Donetsk region overnight, with Kramatorsk hit five times.
