The number of fatalities from the Russian strike on Dobropillia in the Donetsk region has risen to four.

This was reported by Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration.

 "The current death toll in Dobropillia is four. The number of injured remains unchanged at 27."

Authorities and all responsible agencies are working at the strike site. The debris removal is ongoing — we hope there will be no more victims, as the shopping center was already closed at the time of the strike," he noted.

Background: Russian forces dropped a FAB-500 bomb on the center of Dobropillia on the evening of July 16.
