On Friday, a Russian artillery strike hit a supermarket in Kostiantynivka, a front-line town in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, killing at least two people and injuring 17 others, according to regional governor Vadym Filashkin. Images from the scene showed heavy black smoke billowing from the destroyed building. Ukrainian presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak condemned the attack as "another act of Russian terror." The Donetsk region remains one of the most contested areas, with Russian forces frequently targeting Ukrainian-held territories, especially near the strategic eastern logistics hub of Pokrovsk.
