The Russian forces shelled the village of Kalynivka near Bakhmut, killing one civilian. A 58-year-old local died from sustained injuries in his home.
The Russians shelled the neighboring village of Vasiukivka with a mortar, killing a 61-year-old man with a direct hit of a projectile into a passenger car.
A 19-year-old man was injured by shelling in the Netailove near Pokrovk. In the city of Toretsk, a 59-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man received contusions due to Russian shelling.
The explosions also damaged private homes, multi-apartment residential buildings, commercial buildings, and cars.
Last night, the Russian air force also attacked Avdiivka in the Donetsk region with missiles, killing three civilians.
The Russian forces continued to brutally shell Avdiivka, completely destroying the city, and killing and injuring the remaining residents. The Ukrainian Forces selflessly continued to defend the city and repel numerous enemy attacks.
