In Donetsk region, Russian invaders shelled the Avdiyivka Coke Plant, killing at least 10 people and injuring at least 15.

That’s according to the Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko, Ukrinform reports.

"At least 10 dead and 15 wounded – these are the consequences of the Russian occupiers' shelling of the Avdiyivka Coke Plant. These figures are tentative. The updates will follow and the number of victims may probably be higher," the head of the region wrote.

He noted that the invaders knew exactly where they were aiming – the workers had just finished their shift, waiting at a bus stop for a shuttle to take them home from the plant.

"Another cynical crime by the Russians on our land. They will be held accountable for everything!” Kyrylenko stressed.
