KHARKIV: Ukraine urged civilians near the northeastern front line to evacuate on Thursday as Russia ramped up an assault to capture territory already once seized during the conflict.
It said residents could evacuate to Kharkiv, some 90km west, where they would have the option to move to safer regions, urging children, the elderly and the sick to leave.The warning came as Russia's defence ministry announced its soldiers had"improved their position" along the front line near the town, after reporting advances earlier in the week.
In Russia, the governor of the Bryansk region said Thursday that two people had been killed after Ukraine shelled the small village of Chausy, about 3 miles from the border. Moscow said earlier Thursday it downed 11 Ukrainian drones nearing the Crimean peninsula and two headed for Moscow, in the latest wave of attacks targeting Russia and Russian-held territory.
Meanwhile in the Russian-occupied territory of Nova Kakhovka one person died and one was wounded in Ukrainian shelling, the Moscow-backed administration said on Telegram.
