Deadly Shelling Strikes Occupied Donetsk and Moscow, Raising Tensions

At least four residents of the Russian-occupied Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine were killed and ten others injured in Ukrainian shelling, according to Kremlin-backed officials. The attacks damaged apartment buildings, passenger buses, and water infrastructure. The Ukrainian government has not claimed responsibility for the strikes, and the claims made by the Russian-installed authorities have not been independently verified. The Donetsk region has been the site of a simmering conflict between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian forces since 2014.
