The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said on 8 October 2026 that three more people were killed that day in a Russian attack on Bilenke, a village that belongs to the Kramatorsk community in Donetsk region. The same statement said a Russian strike on a passenger bus in Kramatorsk killed 30 people, and that the search and rescue operation in Pryluky, Chernihiv region, had been completed after a missile strike on a five-storey residential building the previous day that killed 22. The statement gives no clock time for the attack on Bilenke and no figures of its own for damage.

  • Fatalities: Best 3 people · Confidence: Unknown · Evidence: Statement on Russian strikes on Kramatorsk and on the rescue operation in Pryluky · Three killed, as stated by Ukraine's foreign ministry for the attack on Bilenke; the figure was not independently verified.

Evidence: Statement on Russian strikes on Kramatorsk and on the rescue operation in Pryluky

The account is Ukraine's own foreign ministry describing Russian attacks on its territory, so the figures are its official account and were not independently checked. No Russian account of the attack on Bilenke was read.
