Two people were killed in Bakhmut, one in Paraskoviivka and another in Vuhledar, the governor wrote in a statement on Telegram. Six people were injured.

The number of victims in Russian-occupied Mariupol and Volnovakha was impossible to determine at this time, Kyrylenko said.

Russia has intensified attacks near Vuhledar as it seeks to fully occupy Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts.
