Russian forces struck the village of Cherkaske in the Donetsk region with a Uragan MLRS with a cluster munition warhead, hitting a private home and killing three people, including a 13-year-old girl, according to the regional military administration. Four others were wounded.

Regional governor Vadym Filashkin stated that the use of cluster munitions on residential areas indicates a deliberate intent to inflict maximum civilian casualties and urged parents to evacuate their children, emphasizing that timely evacuation can save lives.
