Award-winning Ukrainian writer Victoria Amelina has died from injuries she suffered after a Russian missile hit a pizza restaurant in Kramatorsk on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old war crimes researcher and novelist has become the thirteenth person to die as a result of the attack.
Writers' association PEN Ukraine released a statement saying medics "did everything they could to save her life, but unfortunately the wound was fatal".
Human rights activists have branded the attack a war crime.
Kramatorsk is under Ukrainian control but is close to Russian-occupied areas of the country.
Amelina was dining with a group of Colombian journalists and writers in the Ria Lounge when the missile hit.
Around 60 others were also injured in the strike.
She was taken to hospital in Dnipro, but succumbed to her injuries, PEN Ukraine said.
"It is with great pain that we inform you that the heart of the writer Victoria Amelina stopped beating on 1 July," the group said in a statement.
"In the last days of Victoria's life, her family and friends were by her side."
