Several people have been killed in attacks on Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, according to the region's governor.

"This morning, the Russians killed four people and destroyed a house in Izmailivka," writes Governor Vadym Filasjkin on Telegram.

He also reports that two other people were killed in attacks near Chasiv Yar, where many homes have also been damaged.

Regional authorities have ordered large-scale mandatory evacuations in connection with Russian forces having advanced towards the strategically important city of Pokrovsk in recent times.
