Russia devastates another Ukrainian town with guided bombs and drones: Photos

The "White Angels" evacuation team rescued a 60-year-old man from Dobropillia, whom a TSN film crew encountered by chance while filming the town's destruction. He had been wounded by a Russian air-dropped bomb and had lost contact with his family. Although most residents have fled, around 1,000 people remain, trying to hold on amid the relentless shelling.

This is detailed in a report by TSN special correspondent Yuliia Kyryenko.

Russian forces are destroying the town of Dobropillia in Donetsk region. In recent days, the occupiers dropped guided aerial bombs on a hospital — the only medical facility serving the entire Pokrovsk district, home to tens of thousands of people. Now it no longer exists. The medical staff managed to evacuate to Dnipro just moments before the strike, after which two Russian aircraft dropped bombs on the building.

"It feels as if people have only stepped out of their apartments for a short while. Clothes still hang inside, but when you step onto the street, you realize what the enemy has turned this town into—and continues to shatter," the TSN report states.

Liudmyla and her husband, who own two apartments opposite the hospital, were not at home during the strike. They spent the summer in a nearby village and are now attempting to salvage whatever belongings they can.

As we speak with the homeowner, her husband watches a Russian TV channel on his laptop—and promptly decides to stay in the shattered apartment.

The couple's neighbor, Tetiana, will not remain. She was home during the strike and knows all too well what fleeing war means, having done so since 2014.

Serhiy looks at the FAB bomb debris from his balcony. Scratches from shattered window glass still mar his face. He can barely walk, even with a cane. He is the last resident in his five-story building, holed up in the ruined apartment with his cat—there's no one to take him away. His phone broke, leaving him unable to reach his daughter in Dnipro or his wife, who left long ago.

"Serhiy desperately wants to evacuate. So we note his address to pass to the "White Angels" police team. They continue extracting people from frontline cities, racing against the war closing in," the TSN report continues.

By the time the story aired, the "White Angels" had evacuated Serhiy. He is now safe. The same cannot be said for the other 1,000 residents still in Dobropillia. Ninety percent fled as soon as Russian assaults began.

Though Dobropillia lies 12 km from the frontline, the occupiers continue to burn down the once-peaceful town of roses and parks by drones and air bombs.
