Russian forces have carried out two guided bomb attacks on Selidove in Donetsk region, leaving at least five dead and 11 injured, the Donetsk region prosecutor’s office reports. The injured, aged between 28 and 71, suffered bruises, burns and shrapnel injuries.

“At 15:30, the Russian army shelled Selidove. An hour later, they struck again. Preliminary data indicate that the enemy used cluster munitions and FAB-500 guided aerial bombs.” the public prosecutor’s office said on Facebook.
