KYIV - Russian attacks killed at least six people and injured 13 in Ukraine’s eastern front-line Donetsk region on July 12, regional prosecutors said.
A Russian missile landed near an administrative building and a bus stop in the town of Myrnohrad, north-west of the Russian-held city of Donetsk, killing four people and injuring 10.
Donetsk region Governor Vadym Filashkin posted images from the impact sites showing badly damaged building facades and a bus with shattered windows.
There was also a burnt car that appeared to have been thrown to the side by a blast.
A separate attack on an unnamed enterprise in the town of Kostiantynivka, north-west of Bakhmut - seized by Russian forces in 2023 after months of battles - killed two civilians and injured three.
Another attack, on the town of Lyman, further north, injured seven people.
Reuters could not independently confirm the accounts.
Ukraine’s Donetsk region, which Russian troops partially occupy, regularly comes under Russian shelling and air strikes.
