A Russian attack on the village of Kurtivka in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region has killed a woman and her three-year-old daughter, while a 15-year-old girl sustained injuries.

Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, announced this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

The wounded teenager was transported to a hospital for treatment. Authorities are still assessing the full extent of the destruction caused by the attack.
