At least 21 people were killed and the same number were injured in an enemy strike on the village of Yarova, Donetsk Regional Military Administration head Vadym Filashkin has said, as of 12:30.

"At least 21 people were killed and the same number were injured - these are the consequences of the terrible strike on Yarova as of 12:30. Russians attacked people during the issuance of pensions. This is not military action - this is pure terrorism," he said on Telegram.
