Shelling of the Donetsk region

Russians open fire on cities and villages of the Donetsk region daily. Frontline settlements of the region, and even those relatively distant from the front, are constantly under attack. Hence, people are being urged to evacuate to safer regions of Ukraine.

Occupants recently attacked the city of Pokrovsk. As a result, 9 people were killed, and 82 others were injured.

Also, it was reported yesterday that the Russians conducted several airstrikes on Toretsk in the Donetsk region. 4 people were injured as a result of the hostile attack.
