"My house disappeared": the war nightmare that plagues a small town in Donetsk

SIC Notícias31 August 2026 at 14:48

The last night was marked by Russian attacks against Ukraine, in an escalation of violence that particularly affects the Donetsk region. Testimonies from local residents describe the destruction caused by the war, with reports like "my house disappeared" illustrating the nightmare experienced by the civilian population.

Ukrainian air defense managed to intercept most of the 140 drones launched during the attack, although many missiles managed to get through the defenses. The toll of these attacks continues to be a cause for concern, with critical infrastructure and residential areas among the targets hit.

The small town in Donetsk is at the center of these confrontations, with residents facing daily the threat of new attacks. The humanitarian situation in the region deteriorates as the conflicts intensify.
