The Moscow-installed leader of the region, Denis Pushilin, said the Ukrainian strike, which also injured 20 people, had hit a busy market and that the casualty figures might change, Oliver Slow also reported for BBC News.
Darya Tarasova and Teele Rebane also reported for CNN that Donetsk is one of four Ukrainian regions that Moscow said in 2022 it would recognize as Russian territory – an annexation process which is illegal under international law.
The region is partially controlled by Russian forces and is on the frontline in the east. Earlier this month, 11 people including five children were killed in Russian S-300 missile strikes in an area of the region controlled by Ukraine.
