Feb 4 (Reuters) – At least seven people were killed ‍and eight more hurt in Russian attacks in the town of Druzhkivka in ‌the Ukraine-controlled ‌frontline region of Donetsk in the east, the regional governor said on ​Wednesday.

Russia shelled the town with ‍cluster munitions, ​targeting the market, ​and dropped two ‍aerial bombs, Vadym Filashkin said on the Telegram messaging app.

There was no ‍immediate comment from Russia on the attacks. Both ‍Moscow ‍and Kyiv deny ​they are ​targeting ⁠civilians in the ‌war that started with Russia’s invasion in 2022.
