At least four people have died as a result of Russian shelling in eastern Ukraine. The military governor of the Donetsk region called on the remaining residents to flee the area close to the front line on Monday.

The dead are men between the ages of 36 and 86. The front line between Russian and Ukrainian troops runs about ten kilometers east of the small town of Siwersk, which has now been hit by Russian missiles. Before the war, more than 10,000 people lived there. 

The Russian leadership has already declared the entire Donetsk region to be its own territory, but it only has partial control. It is a declared war aim that the annexed regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson are completely under Russian control.

15 injured by falling debris
In south-eastern Ukraine, at least 15 people were injured on Sunday by falling debris from a downed Russian cruise missile. Further south, at least four people were injured by artillery fire. According to the regional military administration, several houses caught fire. The information could not be independently verified.

"Enemy superior in numbers"
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov described the situation on the eastern front as tense. According to him, Russian troops are trying to advance in the areas west of Bachmut. "Despite the enemy's numerical superiority, we have successfully thwarted these plans - thanks to the courage, training and professionalism of the defenders." Umerov added that he had visited Ukrainian units on the eastern front on Sunday.
