The large-scale attack hit a residential area. The head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin, urged residents of the region to evacuate for their safety in a post made on Facebook on Tuesday.
According to Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, Russian army likely used a FAB-250 bomb with a UMPK guidance kit in the attack.

The sides signed an agreement on eliminating the use of force in the Black Sea on Tuesday. Under the deal, Kyiv and Moscow “have agreed to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea.”
