Woman Killed in Ukrainian Missile Strike on Donetsk

A woman was killed in Donetsk following a Ukrainian missile strike, according to the Moscow-appointed head of the region. In the Luhansk region, officials asserted that the entire territory is under Russian control.

Denis Pushilin, the Donetsk regional head, stated that in addition to the fatality, two other people, including a minor, were injured. The attack was allegedly carried out with a British-made Storm Shadow missile. There has been no confirmation from Kyiv.

Leonid Pasechnik, the Luhansk regional head, announced that his region is fully under Russian control. Neither Moscow nor Kyiv has confirmed this information.

The Donetsk and Luhansk regions have been partly controlled by separatists since 2014. Vladimir Putin has declared the annexation of four Ukrainian regions, including Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, as well as Crimea. The annexation is not recognized by Kyiv and the international community.
