Russian shelling kills four in Ukraine's Donetsk region

(Reuters) - Russia shelled the frontline Donetsk region in Ukraine's east on Wednesday, killing at least four people, the regional governor said.

An elderly man and woman were killed in Antonivka village, just about 5 kilometers from the active combat zone, Vadym Filashkin said on Telegram. Another person was injured, he added.

In a separate attack, a man and a woman were killed in the Mykhaylivka settlement, Filashkin said.

The Donetsk region, which Moscow troops partially occupy, regularly comes under Russian shelling and air strikes.

It also remains one of the hottest areas of fighting as Russia targets areas in the direction of the strategic eastern logistics hub of Pokrovsk.
