Frefighters tackle blaze in Russian-controlled Ukrainian city during shelling

Russian officials in the Moscow-controlled city of Donetsk have accused Ukraine of shelling a university building, Reuters reports. The fire from the alleged shelling that engulfed a university building’s wooden roof in Donetsk on Saturday has been contained, according to Russian-state news. There were no people inside during the attack.

Alexei Kostrubitsky, the Russia-installed emergency minister, alleged Ukraine had used cluster munitions but those claims could not be independently verified. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine on the alleged shelling.

Russia launched a multi-wave overnight attack on Ukraine, using 70 air assault weapons, including cruise and hypersonic missiles and Iranian-made drones, Kyiv’s air force said.
