At least two people were killed today when Russian troops shelled the town of Kostyantinovka in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, the regional governor said, Reuters reports.
"A residential part of the city was hit in the attack this morning," said Vadim Filashkin on Telegram.
Ukrainian-held parts of the Donetsk region are regularly under Russian shelling and airstrikes.
Russian forces control a large part of the region, which Moscow, along with four other Ukrainian regions, considers its territory.
Donetsk also remains one of the fiercest areas of fighting, as Russia targets areas in the direction of the strategic eastern logistics hub of Pokrovsk.
At least four people were killed in Russian shelling in Donetsk on Wednesday.
Today's shelling came as Russian forces battled Ukrainian troops in Russia's Kursk region.
Ukrainian forces breached the border three days ago, in what Moscow said was an attempt to force Russia to divert resources away from the fighting front in Ukraine.
