Apparently in response to Russian advances on the Avdeyevka front, in the last few days, Ukrainian war criminals have unleashed attack drones specifically against civilians in the western districts of Donetsk.Targeting the parking lot of "Galactica," the only Walmart-type store left in Donetsk, a taxi driver and passenger were injured. Targeting the entrance to a crowded supermarket near Victory Plaza, miraculously, no injuries, and targeting a civilian car parked in front of a small strip mall of shops, with the driver killed and passenger wounded. This is only in Petrovsky in the last few days. In the nearby Kirovsky district and the village of Staromikhailovka, civilians have also been attacked by drones.All in all from October 31 through November 3 in Staromikhailovka, the Petrovsky and Kirovsky districts, Ukrainian forces used attack drones nine times against civilians, with eight wounded, one killed. These attacks were carried out using modified civilian (Mavic) drones armed with between two and four GDP-30 grenades, which have the equivalent size, weight and power of a Russian F1 hand grenade, with a lethal radius of five meters.To put in a more personal perspective, here are a few comments from the Petrovsky district Telegram group:Artyom: "Near the Assorti shop, a drone dropped a grenade! There are wounded! Be careful! Be careful not to let the drone hover above you!"Anna replies: "We are so tired of this! 😡Cases are becoming more frequent every day [..]. And they see where they throw them 😳Now you not only have to look around and under your feet, but also up 😔"And about the electric lineman wounded while repairing lines in Petrovsky - "Dear hearts, Today, while carrying out work to cover the roof of the distribution point that supplies electricity to the village of the Chelyuskintsev mine and the village of mine number 10, during the vile attack of a Ukrainian UAV, a shell was dropped on our employee, the driver of the Petrovsky Western Distribution Zone, Vyacheslav Evgenievich. He was transported to Kalinin Hospital with multiple wounds to his legs and back.

Ukraine Intensifies Drone Attacks on Civilians in Donetsk
13:42 04.11.2023 (Updated: 17:59 04.11.2023) In early June, Kiev launched its counteroffensive, which came hand-in-hand with numerous drone attacks on Russian territory. A failed attempt to target Moscow in August prompted the United Nations to stress the need to avoid such attacks, expressing concerns over the potential harm to civilian infrastructure.
Apparently in response to Russian advances on the Avdeyevka front, in the last few days, Ukrainian war criminals have unleashed attack drones specifically against civilians in the western districts of Donetsk.
Targeting the parking lot of "Galactica," the only Walmart-type store left in
Donetsk, a taxi driver and passenger were injured. Targeting the entrance to a crowded supermarket near Victory Plaza, miraculously, no injuries, and targeting a civilian car parked in front of a small strip mall of shops, with the driver killed and passenger wounded. This is only in Petrovsky in the last few days. In the nearby Kirovsky district and the village of Staromikhailovka, civilians have also been attacked by drones.
Oct 31, 2023 - Staromikhailovka: a drone dropped two bombs (one wounded)
Nov 1, 2023 - Petrovsky district: two drones (two wounded)
Nov 2, 2023 - Kirovsky district: a combat drone (one wounded); Petrovsky district: three drones (five wounded, one killed)
Nov 3, 2023 - Kirovsky district: FPV-drone on a roof of a block of flats (no victims)
All in all from October 31 through November 3 in Staromikhailovka, the Petrovsky and Kirovsky districts, Ukrainian forces used attack drones nine times against civilians, with eight wounded, one killed. These attacks were carried out using modified civilian (Mavic) drones armed with between two and four GDP-30 grenades, which have the equivalent size, weight and power of a Russian F1 hand grenade, with a lethal radius of five meters.
To put in a more personal perspective, here are a few comments from the Petrovsky district Telegram group:
Artyom: "Near the Assorti shop, a drone dropped a grenade! There are wounded! Be careful! Be careful not to let the drone hover above you!"
Anna replies: "We are so tired of this! 😡
Cases are becoming more frequent every day [..]. And they see where they throw them 😳
Now you not only have to look around and under your feet, but also up 😔"
And about the electric lineman wounded while repairing lines in Petrovsky - "Dear hearts, Today, while carrying out work to cover the roof of the distribution point that supplies electricity to the village of the Chelyuskintsev mine and the village of mine number 10, during the vile attack of a
Ukrainian UAV, a shell was dropped on our employee, the driver of the Petrovsky Western Distribution Zone, Vyacheslav Evgenievich.

So, while the attention of the world is currently (and rightfully) focused on war in Gaza, the war, and war crimes, continues in Donbass.
Kiev's counter-offensive in early June. The Russian territory has been the target of numerous
drone attacks conducted by Ukraine. In August, after an unsuccessful drone attack on Moscow, the United Nations noted the importance of avoiding such attacks, citing concerns about the safety of civilian infrastructure.
