A school in eastern Ukraine was the latest target by Russian forces, as reports suggest dozens of civilians may be dead as a result of the attack
Around 90 people had been sheltering in the building, with 30 have been rescued so-far, after a Russian plane dropped a bomb on the site on Saturday.
The Luhansk region’s governor fears 60 people are feared dead, as the region continues to be targeted by Russian troops and separatist fighters.
Much of Luhansk forms part of the Donbas region, which has been under separatist control for the last eight years.
The village where the attack occurred became a Russian target just last week, and it’s believed almost the entire community was sheltering in the basement of the school.
Firefighters battled the blaze for three hours to extinguish the blaze, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky questions whether a school in small region of Ukraine can actually pose a threat to a world power like Russia.
In the port city of Mariupol, Ukrainian fighters at the steel plant are refusing to give in, telling the world they will not surrender to Russian forces.
They are seeking assistance to evacuate their wounded, as Russia calls for the fighters to lay down their arms.
The fighters are also criticising the Ukrainian government for failing to provide the adequate weaponry to take back the strategic city.
But Zelensky says Ukraine does not have the equipment needed to unblock the city.
