Russian attacks with “cluster munitions” in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, killed two people and injured eight on Saturday, the city’s mayor said.
“Russia continues to unleash terror. As a result of the shelling of Kramatorsk with cluster munitions, two people were killed and eight injured, three of them seriously,” Kramatorsk Mayor Alexander Goncharenko said on his Facebook page.
A dozen residential buildings and 14 municipal facilities were damaged, he added.
Journalists from Agence France-Press (AFP) heard a dozen explosions just before 4 p.m. and saw smoke rising in a park in the south of the city.
Shortly afterwards, another dozen explosions of the same type were heard in a residential area about two kilometers from the initial attack.
It is the second time this week that the city has been targeted. A bomb attack in the city center on Tuesday killed one person, injured three others and damaged six residential buildings. On February 1, three people were killed in a rocket attack on a building.
Kramatorsk, a city of about 150,000 before the Russian invasion more than a year ago, is near Bakhmut, which has been the epicenter of fighting with Russian forces in recent months.
