The Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office reported on Tuesday evening that 3 people died, and 2 others sustained injuries due to Russian shelling on multiple villages in the Donetsk region.
This dire situation highlights the continued violence in the region, as reported by Reuters.
The three who reportedly died – two women and a man aged 63 to 88 – were sitting on a bench in Torske when shelling hit, according to officials.
The official added that the casualties comprised 2 women and 1 man, tragically killed in the village of Torsk at about 15:50 GMT.
While the Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed the attack and its devastating consequences, it refrained from providing further details regarding the assault.
Elsewhere, there have been reports of explosions in the port city of Sevastopol in Russian-occupied Crimea.
The peninsula’s Russian-appointed proxy governor said the fleet was conducting firing exercises.
Meanwhile, four civilians were injured by mortar fire and a residential building was damaged by two drones in Seredyna-Buda, in the Sumy region of north-eastern Ukraine, the regional military administration said on Facebook.
