Two people were injured in the village of New-York in Toretsk hromada, and another person was injured in the settlement of Kurakhivka.

Later, the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor's Office noted that the Russians had struck Kramatorsk, Bakhmut and Pokrovsk districts on 29 June.

Seven more civilians sustained injuries of varying severity.

Two more men, aged 51 and 65, and a 56-year-old woman have been injured in Russian attacks on the villages of Torske, Kurakhivka and Shcherbynivka.

Private households in the settlements were damaged by blast waves and fire.
