A Russian attack on a town west of Donetsk near Ukraine's eastern front has injured 13 people, including one pulled out from under rubble, an official from the area was quoted as saying early on Friday.
There were two strikes on the town, sparking a fire, according to Roman Padun, administrative head of the town of Kurakhove, speaking to public broadcaster Suspilne. He gave no details on what weapons had been used.
Photos posted on social media showed several buildings ablaze. Reuters was unable to independently verify the reports.
Kurakhove is near Maryinka, a town near the front line still held by Ukraine but under Russian attack for many months.
