Russian strikes kill six in Ukraines Donetsk region, officials say [Video]

Russian airstrikes killed at least six people in a Ukrainian-held part of the embattled Donetsk territory on Thursday, according to local officials.

Vadym Filashkin, the Donetsk regional governor, said in a post on Telegram that shelling killed three people and injured four in the village of Udachne, west of the Russian-held city of Donetsk.

Another three people were killed about 50 kilometers south in Kurakhivka, the regional prosecutor’s office said. Both villages are north of Mariupol.

Farther north in the Kharkiv region, a Russian missile attack wounded 10 in the city of Balakliia, regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said on Telegram. Russia occupied Balakliia at the beginning of its full-scale invasion, but Ukraine recaptured it months later.

The injured were in passenger train carriages, Syniehubov said, according to Reuters.

Those assaults followed a Russian missile attack that officials said injured at least six people in central Ukraine’s Cherkasy region.
