At least two people have been killed and five others injured Thursday in a series of shelling carried out by Russian forces in areas of the Donetsk region under Ukrainian control as part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The governor of the region, Pavlo Kirilenko, said that during the last night there have been recorded shellings against several points on the front line, in the direction of Horlivskiy.
However, Kirilenko assured that «all crimes committed by the Russian forces are being documented» and regretted that Russian troops carry out «constant shelling» in the region, where there are problems with electricity supply and drinking water.
In addition, this Thursday an explosion was registered in the region of Yitomir, where two other people were killed, according to information gathered by the Ukrinform news agency.
Both died in the town of Olevksa when the vehicle in which they were traveling exploded when it drove over a mine. The authorities said that the couple, aged 38 and 32, were driving a vehicle on a road in Sushchan when the explosion occurred.
