Elsewhere, a 67-year-old woman was killed after shelling hit an apartment block in the Donetsk region said Gov. Vadym Filashkin. Russia is"concentrating its efforts to break through our defences west of Bakhmut," Syrsky said, referring to the destroyed town in the Donetsk region captured by Russia last May.A Russia-installed official in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region said that the death toll from shelling by Ukraine's military on the town of Tokmak had risen to 16 people.
