KYIV, Ukraine, March 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Russian strikes killed two people 
and wounded more than a dozen others in the embattled eastern Ukrainian town 
of Sloviansk, regional authorities announced Tuesday.

The Kremlin's forces are grinding towards the industrial hub located in the 
wider Donetsk region, where Russia has concentrated its firepower since 
invading in February 2022.

"Enemy forces struck one of the districts of Sloviansk -- at least two dead 
and 17 wounded, including a 14-year-old child," Ukrainian investigators said.

They also posted images showing burnt-out vehicles and a Soviet-era 
residential building gutted in the strikes. The head of the city said Russia 
had struck with three guided aerial bombs.

There was no immediate response from Moscow, which claims its forces do not 
target civilians, and also that the Donetsk region is part of Russia.
