A Russian rocket strike against Krasnohorivka in Donetsk Oblast on Jan. 15 killed one civilian and injured another, Governor Vadym Filashkin reported.

Russian forces launched a massive barrage from multiple-launch rocket systems against the town, the governor said.

The police, rescue services, and local authorities' representatives are working on the spot, he added.

Further consequences of the attack are being determined.

Krasnohorivka, a town in the Marinka community with a pre-war population of around 14,700, lies at the front line and suffers regular attacks by Russian forces.

The town came under Russian strikes also over the past day, although no casualties were reported as a result, Filashkin said in his morning report on Jan. 15.

Сeasefire would leave 25% of Ukraine under Russian control, ambassador says.

"Many countries have proposed the idea of a ceasefire, but no one thinks about what it means. Some 25% of Ukrainian territory would remain under Russian control, which means buying time for Russia to strengthen its capabilities and resume its attacks on Ukraine," Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar said.
