Russia inches closer to a logistics hub in Ukraine
The Morning Standard|September 16, 2024
RUSSIAN shelling killed one person in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk on Sunday, local authorities said, as Moscow's troops inched closer to the key logistics hub.

More than 20,000 people have fled the city since August, while Russian strikes over the past two weeks have cut off water and electricity to many of its remaining residents.

"Around 11 am, the enemy shelled the western part of the city... Unfortunately, one person died," Pokrovsk's military administration said on Telegram.

Separately, a Russian air strike sparked a fire at a multistorey residential building in the northeastern city of Kharkiv on Sunday, officials said.
