At least four dead, six wounded in Russian bombardments near Luhansk

KYIV — At least four people were killed, including two children, and six wounded from overnight strikes in eastern Ukraine, the governor of the Luhansk region says.

Sergiy Gayday says “unfortunately, the number of victims could be considerably higher,” accusing Russian forces of using phosphorus bombs.

Other officials in the region have made similar claims in recent days, which AFP has been unable to immediately verify.
