Russian forces have dropped 108 bombs on the city of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast over the past week, leaving 16 people dead and 38 injured. Source: Vadym Filashkin, Head of Donetsk Oblast State Administration, during the national joint 24/7 newscast Quote: "The enemy has dropped 108 aerial bombs on the city of Kostiantynivka over the past week alone. These are both guided aerial bombs and FABs [general-purpose air-dropped bombs]. The attacks have killed 16 people and injured 38." Details: Filashkin pointed out that the heavy bombardments have prompted an increase in civilian evacuations, not only from Kostiantynivka but also from Pokrovsk, which is under intense Russian fire. Over 5,000 people have been evacuated from these cities in the past week alone. Filashkin reported that six branches of Ukrposhta, Ukraine's national postal service, are still functioning in Kostiantynivka. These branches are limited to sending parcels only, enabling evacuating residents to send their belongings to new locations, but they do not accept incoming parcels. Social welfare payments are also available at these offices. He also mentioned that 138 settlements in Donetsk Oblast have been left without electricity, gas and water due to the hostilities.

Russians destroy ancient wooden church in Andriivka
Russian attacks destroyed a local architectural monument – the wooden Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the occupied village of Andriivka, Volnovakha district, Donetsk Oblast. Source: Donetsk Oblast State Administration; Ukrainska Quote: "The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which has been a spiritual centre for centuries, was destroyed by a Russian attack in February 2025.

Photo: Donetsk Oblast State Administration A total of 164 cultural heritage sites had been destroyed or damaged in Donetsk Oblast as of January 2025. The most affected were the monuments of the Mariupol, Sviatohirsk and Bakhmut hromadas, which are included in the List of Historical Places of Ukraine. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town along with their adjacent territories – ed.] For reference: The first mention of the church in Andriivka dates back to 1793. This makes it one of the oldest wooden churches in eastern Ukraine. The first church on this site was consecrated in 1795, and in 1886, it was replaced by a new building with a bell tower. One of the features of the church was the ceramic terracotta tiles made at the famous Dzewulski and Lange ceramic factory in Sloviansk.
