“It is so dangerous now in Slovyansk and Kramatorsk that police say it is time for civilians to get out. These neighbouring cities are the biggest still under full Ukrainian control in the eastern Donbas region. In the worst affected areas, forced evacuations of families with children have already begun, says Pavlo Dyachenko of Donetsk police. ‘This is the only way to save your life,’ he says, because security has deteriorated so much. ‘If you take Slovyansk, it used to be hit by glide bombs roughly once a week, but now it's almost every day…’ Over the summer, the number of civilians wounded by Russian attacks on the two cities increased from 70 in June to 212 in August, say Ukrainian police. Sixteen people died in June, 20 in July and 15 in August.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyz89w59l3o
