Russian forces struck the same district of Sloviansk in Donetsk Oblast twice within an hour on Sept. 18, injuring at least five people, Sloviansk City Military Administration chief Vadym Liakh said.
All of the injured are receiving medical treatment, he said.
The strikes damaged apartment buildings, a store, a Nova Post branch, an administrative building and pavilions at the Pryvokzalnyi market.
No further details about the weapons used in the attacks were immediately available.
Sloviansk and neighboring Kramatorsk have faced increasingly frequent Russian strikes as fighting continues across northern Donetsk Oblast.
In August, Ukrainian battlefield monitoring group DeepState assessed that Russian forces were attempting to create conditions for further offensive operations toward the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.
The group said Russia was systematically striking the two cities and surrounding areas with guided aerial bombs, multiple-launch rocket systems, Shahed-type drones and FPV drones, while also targeting Ukrainian logistics.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
