“There are probably children”: details of the dead and wounded as a result of the Russian strike on Konstantinovka have become known

According to the head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, the bodies of the victims were badly burned and an examination will determine this for sure.

As a result of the Russian strike on the supermarket in Konstantinovka, three children are presumably among the dead, but due to the severe damage to the bodies, only an examination will establish this for sure. This was reported on air by the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration Vadim Filashkin.

According to him, as of 19:00 the rescue operation was suspended due to safety concerns.

“At present, we know of 14 dead and 43 people who were injured. One injured person is in serious condition, we sent him to the city of Dnepr, all the rest are in our region and are receiving qualified medical care,” Filashkin reported.

The head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration said that there may be children among those killed in the Russian strike on Konstantinovka.

“Unfortunately, among the 14 deceased, there are presumably three deceased children. It is not possible to identify them now, because the bodies are very badly burned. Expert services, forensic experts, are working on the scene,” Filashkin emphasized.

He added that the issue is identifying the bodies.

“Very small bodies. It could be either a woman or a child. Unfortunately, there is preliminary information that a father with children and a mother with children were in the EcoMarket. That is, the adults were identified, but we do not understand the small bodies, whether it is a small woman or a child. Only after the conclusion of the crime lab and the forensic expert will we understand,” Filashkin emphasized.

According to the head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, search operations will continue from tomorrow morning.
