Ukraine War

DONETSK, July 27. /TASS/. Over the past day, Ukraine’s armed forces delivered 30 attacks on settlements in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), killing two people and injuring 14 others, the DPR government’s department for documenting Ukrainian war crimes said.

“Thirty armed attacks by Ukrainian military formations were registered, with two civilians reported killed and 14 injured. Overall, 30 various munitions were fired,” the department said in a statement.

According to it, 24 attacks targeted the Gorlovka area, two more the Volnovakha direction, and one each four other areas. A shuttle bus, a passenger car, trucks, special vehicles, and three civilian infrastructure facilities were damaged in the attacks.

Russian forces have killed at least six people in Ukraine, according to officials, after launching ballistic missile attacks on the capital, Kyiv, and strikes on other regions, including a supermarket in the northern city of Chernihiv.

The attacks on Sunday came as Russian officials said that Moscow-occupied areas of Ukraine had also come under fire, with four people killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on the occupied city of Horlivka.

Ukraine’s air ⁠force said Russia had launched seven ballistic missiles and 136 drones at Ukraine overnight. Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv cities were all hit.

In northern Chernihiv, officials said a Russian drone hit a supermarket, killing two people, including a nine-year-old girl, and wounding 25 others.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as a “deeply cynical drone strike on an ordinary supermarket”.

In the eastern city of Kharkiv, one person was killed and 16 others required medical attention after a daytime drone attack, the local mayor said.

“This is deliberate Russian terror with absolutely no military justification,” Zelenskyy said.
