KYIV (Reuters) - Russian attacks killed three civilians and injured five more in the last 24 hours in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, a local official said on Friday, as Moscow's forces mounted pressure to reach the city of Pokrovsk, a logistics hub.
The eastern region of Donetsk, which Russian troops partially occupy, regularly comes under Russian shelling and air strikes. Ukraine says capturing the region is a battlefield priority for Moscow.
