Authorities in Russian-controlled Donetsk are assessing widespread damage following a reported attack that severely affected civilian infrastructure.
Emergency crews have been working through debris, inspecting damaged buildings and clearing affected areas as officials assess the scale of the destruction.
The incident comes amid continued exchanges of accusations between Moscow and Kyiv, with both sides blaming the other for attacks across the conflict zone.
In recent weeks, long-range drone and missile strikes have remained a major feature of the war, with targets increasingly located far from the immediate front lines.
Infrastructure has been particularly vulnerable, as strikes threaten transportation networks, industrial facilities and essential services.
For civilians living in contested and occupied areas, the expanding range of attacks has increased fears that no location is entirely beyond the reach of the fighting.
Emergency teams in Donetsk are now focused on securing damaged sites and determining whether further dangers remain.
Meanwhile, the broader exchange of long-range attacks shows no clear sign of slowing, adding another layer of uncertainty to a conflict already stretching deep into its fourth year.
The latest damage assessment comes as both Moscow and Kyiv continue to accuse each other of escalating attacks against civilian and infrastructure targets.
