On March 18, two civilians were killed and three more were wounded in the Russian shelling of Avdiivka, Donetsk region.

"Russians continue to shoot at civilians. A nine-storey building, a shop, and an administrative building came under fire in Avdiivka today. According to preliminary information, two civilians were killed and three more were wounded. We clarify the details," Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration Pavlo Kyrylenko posted on Facebook.

Russia wants to make Ukrainians feel fear, inciting only anger instead, he stressed.

"We will take revenge for every death," Kyrylenko added.

On February 24, Russian president Putin announced the beginning of a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops shell and destroy infrastructure, massively fire on residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, and ballistic missiles.
