Ukraine has been battling pro-Russian separatists in the eastern Donetsk and Lugansk regions since 2014 AFP/Anatolii STEPANOVKIEV: Russian-backed separatists accused Ukrainian forces of killing a child in a drone attack on Saturday , as Kiev reported the death of one of its soldiers in a mine explosion.
Self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic claimed that a five-year-old child was killed and a woman injured on Saturday in a Ukrainian drone attack. The claim cannot be independently verified as both international monitors and the Ukrainian defence ministry have not responded to AFP's requests for a comment.Meanwhile, a Ukrainian soldier was killed when an explosive device went off near the village of Shumy north of the separatist's de facto capital Donetsk, the army said.
Germany and France, which have played a mediating role in Russia-Ukraine tensions, released a joint statement on Saturday calling for"restraint" and"immediate de-escalation" from all sides.
