A devastating loss of life has occurred in the frontline city of Siversk in eastern Ukraine due to a brutal Russian shelling incident.
The regional military governor of Donetsk, Vadym Filashkin, announced on Monday that fatalities included four men ranging in age from 36 to 86.
Through a message shared on Telegram, Filashkin urged the remaining residents of Siversk to evacuate the city, situated approximately 10 kilometers to the west of the front line.
Before the outbreak of war, Siversk boasted a population exceeding 10,000 inhabitants.
While Russia has laid claim to the entire Donetsk region as part of its territory, its control remains limited.
