More than 700 children are forcibly evacuated in Donetsk region

Another 744 children and their families are being forcibly evacuated from more than 10 settlements in Donetsk region due to constant shelling.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a Telegram message from Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration.

He noted that today a meeting of the regional commission on technogenic and environmental safety and emergencies of the region was held. The main topic of the meeting was the security situation in Hrodivka and Novohrodivka communities.

According to Mr. Filashkin, the enemy is bombing the towns and villages of these communities every day, so it was decided to evacuate children with their parents or other legal representatives.

These are the town of Novohrodivka, the villages of Marynivka, Mykhailivka, Lisivka, Promin, Moskovske, Balagan, Mykolaivka, Myroliubivka, Malynivka, Novoekonomichne, Poltavka and Ostrovske.

"In total, we have to evacuate 744 children and their families from the four communities to safer regions of Ukraine," said the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration.

Filashkin also added that he had instructed to use only armored vehicles for the evacuation of children, as the enemy is actively using FPV drones in these communities.
