Three people, including a girl, were killed and four others injured after Ukraine shelled the Russian-occupied region of Donetsk on Saturday, a Moscow-installed local official said.
"Three people were killed, including a girl born in 2009, and four people were injured, including a girl born in 2013, as a result of the morning shelling," he said.
The collapsed section of what appeared to be a residential building surrounded by rubble and debris could be seen in photos published on his social media account.
AFP was not able to immediately verify his report.
The reported shelling came hours after Ukrainian troops withdrew from the frontline city of Avdiivka, also in the Donetsk region, amid intense Russian bombardment.
Furthermore, Russia said it had shot down a barrage of 33 Ukrainian drones flying over its territory, including the border region of Belgorod.
