Russian strike on a town in Ukraine's embattled Donetsk region killed at least 11 people, officials said Saturday, as a wave of heavy aerial attacks continued into the second night following an American decision to stop sharing satellite images with Ukraine.

Thirty people were also reported injured in multiple strikes late Friday that damaged eight apartment blocks in the town of Dobropillya, which is close to the front where Russian troops have been making steady advances. Ukraine's State Emergency Service said a Russian drone damaged a Ukrainian fire truck while rescuers fought to extinguish the burning buildings.

Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin declared Saturday a day of mourning in the region and warned that more victims could still be found in the rubble. "The destroyed houses and burned-out cars are a terrible scar on the body of our city, left by Russian missiles and drones," he said in a statement on Telegram.
