Ukraine shelled the village of Suzemka, east of the border between the two countries.

A cannon hit a residential building in Suzemka before the major attack, the governor said. This resulted in partial damage and one person was injured. Officials in eastern Ukraine also said Ukrainian shelling killed nine people, including an eight-year-old girl, in the city of Donetsk.
