Kostiantynivka (Ukrainian: Костянтинівка, IPA: [kosʲtʲɐnˈtɪn⁽ʲ⁾iu̯kɐ] ⓘ; Russian: Константиновка, romanized: Konstantinovka) is an industrial city in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine.

[9] Kostiantynivka was also shelled by the Russian Armed Forces on 17 September 2022,[10] causing five civilian casualties and extensive destruction in the city.

[clarification needed] A further five or more civilians were killed on 24 March 2023, when a missile fired from an S-300 anti-aircraft system hit a local so-called "invincibility point"—a humanitarian support center—in Kostiantynivka.

[11] On 6 September 2023, a missile struck an open-air market in the middle of the day, killing 17 civilians, including a child, and injuring at least 32.

[12][13] The New York Times later reported that "evidence strongly suggests the catastrophic strike was the result of an errant Ukrainian air defense missile fired by a Buk launch system".

[15][16] On 9 August 2024, a supermarket and surrounding buildings in the city were destroyed by a Russian missile attack, killing 14 and injuring 43 others.

The same year, tram service stopped due to construction on the Severnyi railway viaduct, closing the final line, number 4.
