Russians shell Druzhba village in Donetsk region, killing two children

Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration Pavlo Kyrylenko wrote this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"Two children were killed by Russians today in Donetsk region in the village of Druzhba of the Toretsk community. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the Russians shelled the village with artillery - one of the shells hit the yard where the children were - a 10-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl. They were brother and sister. They received injuries incompatible with life," the head of the region said.

He noted that an elderly woman was also wounded in the same village during the shelling and taken to hospital.

Kyrylenko again called on parents of underage children to take their children out of the danger zone.

"Children should not live near war. You are responsible for the safety of their lives, including before the law," he said, addressing the parents of children who still live in the region.

As reported, the Donetsk region is constantly under fire from Russian troops, the enemy kills and injures civilians and destroys infrastructure every day.
