Ukrainian civilian killed in frontline shelling
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Ukrainian civilian is killed in a shelling attack on a government-held village, Ukrainian officials say.
Local officials say the civilian, identified only as a man born in 1970, was killed in an attack on Novoluganske, a settlement 35 kilometers (25 miles) north of the eastern rebel stronghold Donetsk.
The death marks the first officially-confirmed civilian casualty of the year in Ukraine’s eight-year separatist conflict, which has claimed more than 14,000 lives and forced 1.5 million from their homes.
Ukraine’s Western-backed leadership has also confirmed the death of five soldiers this year.
Russian state media says President Vladimir Putin is going to make a televised address “soon.”
