STORYLINE:
At least 12 people were wounded after Russian forces struck a five-story apartment block in the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk on Wednesday, governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said in a Telegram post.
Kyrylenko said that at least two more people remained under the rubble after the building, in a residential part of Pokrovsk, was fired on at around 10am local time.
He said a rescue operation was underway.
"I am standing here almost crying...you see the Russian world has come," local resident Petro Kotsura said while looking at the damage.
Pokrovsk, which had a pre-war population of 60,000, lies just 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of the western suburbs of Donetsk’s namesake capital, where fierce fighting is taking place.
Kyrylenko said that victims of the shelling would be provided with temporary housing, clothing, food and other necessities.
