At least seven people have died Y eight others have been injured for an attack launched this Wednesday on a market in the Ukrainian city of Avdivka, in the region of Donetskaccording to local authorities, who have blamed the bombing on Russian forces.

The governor, Pavlo Kirilenko, an ally of kyiv, has stated on his Telegram account that the attack occurred early in the morning, at a time when there were “many people” in the market.

“There is no military logic in these bombings,” Kirilenko lamented, who believes that Russia has intensified its actions on civilians due to the inability to contain the Ukrainian forces militarily in the east and south of the country. Thus, he has urged citizens to leave the region until it is safe.
