Russian forces are being accused of deliberately targeting civilians in the city of Kostiantynivka, located in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, as daily drone attacks intensify and evacuation efforts come under fire.

At least five civilians were killed and seven others injured in Russian attacks across Ukraine over the past 24 hours, according to regional authorities.

At least 11 people were killed and 30 injured in a Russian strike on Dobropillya, a town in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, Ukrainian authorities say.
