A Ukrainian artillery strike has killed at least three people at a market in the city of Donetsk, the capital of Russiaβs Donetsk Peopleβs Republic, Governor Denis Pushilin reported on Wednesday.
Ukrainian forces used 155mm shells to strike the Sokol market in the cityβs Kirov neighborhood, the official stated. Two men and one woman were killed, while five other people were injured in the attack, he said, citing preliminary reports.
There were several other incidents in the region, including a drone bombing in a rural area in which a young woman was injured, Pushilin added.
