Eight people were killed and four injured on Thursday August 4 when a Russian strike hit a bus stop in Toretsk, near the front line in eastern Ukraine, the regional governor announced. “From the first information we have, it was an artillery fire that hit a public transport stop where a crowd was waiting”, explained on Telegram Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region. According to him, three of the four injured are children.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday urged the inhabitants of this region to leave it quickly in the face of bombardments by Russian forces and problems with water and heating supplies. Russian shelling targeted several other Ukrainian towns and villages on Thursday, including Mykolaiv, in the south, where apartment buildings were damaged in two neighborhoods, according to Mayor Oleksandr Senkevich.
In Kharkiv, the country’s second largest city, local authorities reported Russian missile attacks hitting industrial areas. Ukrainian forces are leading a counter-offensive in the south of the country, where they claim to have taken over more than 50 villages controlled by Moscow.
