Russian strikes kill seven people and wound another eight at a market in the east Ukraine city of Avdiivka near the frontline, says a regional governor.

“At least seven dead and eight wounded as a result of the shelling this morning on Avdiivka. The Russians struck the central market, where many people were at that time,” the Donetsk regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko writes on the Telegram social media platform.
