At least 21 have been killed in a Russian air strike on a village in eastern Ukraine, say local Ukrainian officials.
The victims were ordinary people collecting their pensions in the Donetsk settlement of Yarova, said President Volodymr Zelensky. Donetsk regional leader Vadym Filkashkin said emergency services were at the scene, and that as many people were wounded as killed.
Yarova is to the north of Sloviansk, one of the big cities in the region, and not far from the front line as Russian forces advance slowly in the east.
If confirmed, the death toll would be among the heaviest attacks on Ukrainian civilians in recent weeks, 42 months into Russia's full-scale invasion.
At least 23 people were killed in overnight air strikes on Ukraine's capital Kyiv at the end of August.
