Russian forces killed at least three civilians in Ukraine on Friday and Saturday, wounded others.
Smoke rises above buildings after a local warehouse was hit by shelling in the course of Russia-Ukraine conflict in Donetsk, Russian-controlled Ukraine on Oct. 21, 2023.At least three civilians were killed and others wounded in Ukraine on Friday and Saturday, as Russian forces continued to shell areas across the country and pushed forward near an embattled eastern city, local Ukrainian officials reported Saturday.
Russian shelling over the past day also wounded one civilian in the front-line city of Avdiivka, in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, acting local Gov. Ihor Moroz reported on Saturday. Avdiivka has been fiercely contested by Russian and Ukrainian forces in recent weeks as Kyiv's forces try to hold off a renewed Russian assault.
Russian troops on Friday launched a fresh offensive north of Avdiivka that has secured minor gains, according to an analysis by the Institute for the Study of War. The Washington-based think tank cited geolocated footage from pro-Kremlin "military bloggers" on the ground to support its assessment. The Ukrainian General Staff on Friday claimed that Ukrainian forces had damaged and destroyed almost 50 Russian tanks and over 100 armored vehicles in the fighting near Avdiivka during the previous day. The claim could not be independently verified.
