Russian forces killed one person and wounded five more in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, which is suffering the most intense assaults from Moscow's army, regional authorities said Wednesday.
The Kremlin claimed to have annexed the Donetsk region along with three other regions in 2022, despite not fully controlling them and Russian-backed separatists have held the region's main city of Donetsk since 2014.
"One person was killed and five were wounded. These are the consequences of bombardments this morning in the Donetsk region," its governor Vadym Filashkin said on social media.
He said one civilian was killed and four others wounded near the town of Toretsk and that another person was wounded by a separate aerial attack on the frontline town of Selydove.
