Three Dead in Russian Attack on Kramatorsk in Eastern Ukraine, Police Say
The attack targeted a strategic hub near frontline fighting, killing three including a child and injuring seven, prompting a war crimes investigation, officials said.
- On Sunday, March 29, 2026, a Russian glide bomb attack on Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, killed three people, including a 13-year-old boy, with Donetsk Oblast Governor Vadym Filashkin reporting the strike occurred at noon and damaged numerous multi-story buildings.
- Located less than 20 kilometers from the nearest Russian positions, Kramatorsk serves as a strategic logistical hub and has endured intensified Russian glide bomb and drone attacks over the past weeks as the de facto regional capital.
- Governor Filashkin condemned the strike as 'deliberate terror against our people,' stating that emergency services are working at the site while injured victims range from 20 to 80 years old.
- The regional Prosecutor's Office opened a pre-trial investigation to initiate criminal proceedings for a war crime following the strike, while Kramatorsk faced a new attack two hours after the initial bombardment.
- Kramatorsk and Sloviansk lie on a 'fortress belt' seen as key targets in Russia's slow westward advance to capture the Donetsk Region, making these frontline areas frequent targets.
