Title: Four Killed in Russian Shelling of Ukrainian Donetsk Region

The governor of the Ukrainian Donetsk region, Vadim Vilchik, announced on Friday that "at least four people were killed and nine others injured in Russian shelling of the area." He wrote on the Telegram app that two people were killed and six others were injured in an attack near an administrative building and a bus station in the town of Myrnohrad. He added that two civilians were killed and three others were injured in another attack on an unnamed facility in the town of Kostiantynivka. Photos shared by Vilchik on Telegram from the attack sites showed severely damaged building facades and a bus with shattered windows, alongside a burnt car that appeared to have been thrown to the side by the explosion. Russian forces occupy parts of the Donetsk region on the eastern front of Ukraine, which is regularly subjected to Russian shelling and airstrikes. Moscow denies targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure in its invasion of Ukraine, despite thousands of fatalities.
