Russian strikes killed two people in Ukraine after several days of deadly attacks that claimed dozens of lives, officials said Thursday.
Faced with renewed aerial assaults from Russia, Kyiv said it had enough ammunition to withstand a few powerful attacks but would soon need more aid.
A strike in the central Kirovograd region, far from the front, on Thursday killed one person at an industrial facility and injured eight others, regional governor Andriy Raykovych said.
Eleven villages in the eastern Donetsk region, which has seen some of the heaviest fighting in the war, faced multiple attacks on Wednesday.
"One person was killed and three others were injured as a result," the interior ministry said, adding that residential buildings, cars, a pipeline and power line were damaged. (AFP)
