Russian attacks on Chasiv Yar, Avdiivka, and Toretsk in Donetsk Oblast on Nov. 22 killed two people and injured one, the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported.

A 59-year-old man was killed in his house during a strike on Chasiv Yar, and a 49-year-old man was killed in an attack on the outskirts of Toretsk, the prosecutors said.

In attacks on Avdiivka, a 67-year-old man was reportedly hospitalized with chest wounds.

Donetsk Oblast has been partially occupied by Russia since the start of Moscow's aggression in 2014, and the Ukrainian-held territory suffers regular attacks.

Many of the front-line settlements have been largely destroyed and depopulated in the course of the fighting.
