Shelling of Donetsk region

Every day, the Russians open fire on the cities and villages of the Donetsk region. Frontline settlements in the region, and even those located in the relative rear, are constantly under attack. That is why people are urged to evacuate to safer regions of Ukraine.

The day before yesterday, the occupiers attacked the city of Pokrovsk. As a result, nine people died, and another 82 people were injured.
