My City Destroyed : War brings death, pain, destru - The Chronicles

Kostiantynivka remains under round-the-clock Russian fire as the city continues to be systematically destroyed. Drone operators of the Phoenix border guard unit documented another attack, capturing evidence of Russian forces dropping heavy aerial bombs on the city during the night. According to the footage, residential neighborhoods were among the targets once again. The strike adds to the growing record of attacks on civilian areas in one of the most heavily battered cities in the Donetsk region.

The humanitarian situation in occupied Oleshky has reportedly deteriorated sharply. Since April 15, the city has effectively been under blockade. Vehicles carrying gas and food reportedly hit mines — the drivers survived, but since then no one has been willing to risk entering the city. Food and basic goods are now in extremely short supply. To buy essentials, residents are forced to travel to Skadovsk via a mined “road of death” that remains under fire. People reportedly carry other people’s bank cards and pay a fee just to withdraw cash. Around 50 children are still believed to remain in the city.

Kostiantynivka has become a ghost city, coming under constant Russian shelling. Occupying forces continue to strike the city with artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, guided bombs, and heavy aerial bombs, causing further destruction to residential areas and civilian infrastructure. Once a living industrial city, it is now being steadily erased - leaving behind empty streets, shattered buildings, and constant danger for those still trapped there.

This is what life looks like in the frontline settlement of Komyshuvakha, according to footage shared on social media. People here are not truly living — they are simply trying to survive under постоянне shelling and constant attacks, with every day shaped by danger, destruction, and uncertainty.

A video recorded by a Russian serviceman shows the current state of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region, highlighting significant destruction across the city. The footage captures heavily damaged urban areas, including residential buildings and infrastructure. No visible signs of large-scale reconstruction can be observed in the video.

This drone footage shows what occupied Oleshky looks like today. Streets, buildings, and entire neighborhoods bear the visible marks of war and occupation. The video offers a stark aerial view of a town deeply affected by the conflict, revealing the scale of destruction now seen in Oleshky.

A city that once moved to the rhythm of industry and everyday life has now become one of the hottest spots in the Donetsk region. Before the full-scale invasion, more than 67,000 people lived here. By the end of March 2026, only around 2,000 residents remained in the city after months of heavy strikes and destruction. Attacks have not stopped: guided bombs, artillery, and kamikaze drones continue to hit residential neighborhoods on a daily basis.

This video shows the frontline villages of the Orikhiv axis — destroyed homes, shattered roofs, and streets hit by fire day after day. And yet, life in the community goes on. A monument with the flags of Ukrainian units still stands as a symbol that Orikhivshchyna is holding on despite constant destruction.

This is what Stepnohirsk looks like today — a stark frontline report and war documentation from the situation on the ground. Russian forces have turned the town into a ghost city, with silent streets, damaged buildings, and clear signs of infrastructure damage across this once-living community. The panorama, filmed by a drone of the 260th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade “Khortytsia,” offers an aerial battlefield view of urban frontline areas and the wider conflict impact on cities. It is another conflict zone update showing what ongoing war leaves behind for affected communities near the front.

This is what Kamyshuvakha looks like now — a stark field report from the situation on the ground. Destroyed streets, ruined homes, and visible infrastructure damage show the devastating conflict impact on cities and affected communities. What was once a living town has been reduced to devastation, serving as grim war documentation of the destruction spreading across urban frontline areas in Ukraine.
