Madrid, December 6 (European Press) –
At least one civilian was killed and two others were injured as a result of a drone attack by Ukrainian armed forces on the city of Gorlovka, in the Donetsk People’s Republic, local authorities reported early Saturday.
The mayor of Gorlovka, Ivan Prigodko, said in a short message shared on his channel on the Telegram application in which he expressed his condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims: “As a result of the Ukrainian armed aggression in the central Gorlovka region, a civilian died.”
Priodko also reported that two other people were injured in an artillery attack by the Ukrainian army in the village of Korolenko.
In parallel, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the interception of up to 116 drones from Ukraine overnight.
The bulk of these devices (29) were neutralized in the Ryazan region, 196 kilometers southeast of Moscow. Likewise, 27 air vehicles of the same type were detained in the Voronezh region, another 23 in the Bryansk region, and 21 in Belgorod.
In addition, six targets were intercepted in the Tver region, three more in the cities of Kursk and Lipetsk, two more in Tambov and one in the Tula and Oryol regions.
These attacks come after the Russian authorities announced on Friday a new advance by their forces in eastern Ukraine with the seizure of another town in Donetsk, as part of the invasion that began in February 2022 on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russia has made progress over the past few months in Ukraine, and the center of progress was in Donetsk. In September 2022, Moscow annexed the partially occupied provinces of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhia, while it was also able to penetrate Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk, in addition to annexing the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.
