Regional Governor Vadym Filashkin said Russian forces dropped four aerial bombs on the Ukrainian village of Oleksandrivka in the eastern Donetsk region on Wednesday morning, killing at least five people.

At least six people were reportedly injured in the bombing, while seven others, including two children, are believed to be trapped under rubble after the morning attack, Filashkin said on Telegram.

No fewer than 12 apartment buildings, 42 private homes, an administrative building, a kindergarten, a shop and seven vehicles were damaged in the strikes.

Filashkin added that search-and-rescue efforts are ongoing.
