Russian shelling killed five civilians and wounded five others in two east Ukrainian cities Saturday, the Donetsk governor announced.
"Today, five people were killed after Russian shelling in the region of Donetsk," the Donetsk governor Pavlo Kyrylenko posted on Telegram.
Kyrylenko noted that four of them died in the city of Vugledar, and one in the town of Novomikhaylovka.
The Ukrainian army announced on Facebook that it had "destroyed four tanks, eight armoured vehicles and seven enemy vehicles", as well as "a plane, a helicopter" and drones.
Further north, in the Kharkiv region, "at least two people were killed in Slatyne as a result of a shelling and another injured", the mayor of the neighbouring municipality of Dergachi, Vyacheslav Zadorenko, wrote on Facebook.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities, and killing civilians.
