Russian bombing of Ukraine’s Kostyantynivka leaves three dead, prosecutors say

Russian aerial bombardment in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kostyantynivka left three civilians dead and four others wounded on Sunday, local prosecutors said.

According to a Facebook post by the Donetsk region prosecutor’s office, Russia dropped three glide bombs on the city, situated about 10 km (6.2 miles) from the front line.

Russian forces have inched closer towards it over the past year.

A couple, aged 47 and 48, were killed, along with a 78-year-old pensioner, the post said, and 21 homes were damaged. Pictures attached to it showed a destroyed single-storey house and the burnt-out shell of a car.
