"As a result of Ukrainian armed aggression in the center of Gorlovka, a civilian woman was killed. Eternal memory to the innocent victim. Condolences to the family and friends," Prikhodko wrote on Telegram in the early hours of Wednesday.
DPR authorities said that Ukrainian forces attacked Horlivka several times on Tuesday, using kamikaze UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), and dropped explosives from drones onto the city.
Ukrainian drones also attacked the Russian city of Volgograd late on Tuesday night. Governor of Volgograd Region Andrei Bocharov said on Telegram that drone debris fell on the roof of a residential building, but nobody was injured.
