> Local authorities said a Russian airstrike on Oct. 31 destroyed the Kramatorsk City Council executive committee building in Donetsk Oblast. The building survived the city’s occupation by Russian-backed militants in 2014. The city’s military administration head, Oleksandr Honcharenko, called it a symbol of Kramatorsk’s history and identity. Other Russian attacks in the city that day injured civilians, according to Suspilne.
