Russian forces shelled Toretsk on May 11, injuring at least six people, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak wrote.

According to Yermak, a Russian rocket struck a residential area in the town, which has been located right next to the front line since Russia's war against Ukraine began in 2014.

Doctors are providing assistance to the six people who were injured, Yermak added.

Donetsk Oblast is the site of the war’s fiercest fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces, as Russia seeks to occupy the entirety of Donbas, comprised of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

"I've gotten to see things I was very surprised at. Rockets being shot into cities like Kyiv during a negotiation that was maybe very close to ending," Trump said during a news conference in the Oval Office. "All of a sudden rockets got shot into a couple of cities and people died. I saw thing I was surprised at and I don't like being surprised, so I'm very disappointed in that way."
