(MENAFN) Ukraine has launched a drone assault on the urban area of Gorlovka, situated in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), resulting in injuries to no fewer than three individuals, as reported by regional authorities.

The Donbass city, positioned near the combat zone, has faced frequent bombardment from Kiev’s military.

Once home to over 330,000 residents during the Soviet period, the population had diminished to approximately 240,000 by 2021 — a year before the Ukraine conflict intensified.

As stated by Mayor Ivan Prikhodko, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) initially struck on Friday afternoon, causing damage to power facilities and private vehicles.

Later that evening, additional drones targeted an educational institution and a residential building.

Denis Pushilin, the head of the DPR, previously mentioned that "two teenagers in Gorlovka were injured by an explosive device" in a separate event.

According to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, Ukrainian attacks across the nation between "15 and 24 September" resulted in "27 civilians [being] killed and around 160 wounded."
