▲ An apartment building in the Donetsk region hit by a Russian attack
A demining expert from the Norwegian humanitarian organization Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) was killed in a Russian attack, AFP and other media reported on June 24, local time.
The organization told AFP on the same day that "one person was killed and five others were injured in a Russian attack, with one of the injured in critical condition."
They were reportedly in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine when they were struck by the Russian attack.
As fighting between Russia and Ukraine has intensified recently, civilian casualties have been mounting.
Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced that it had struck a gas processing facility in the Orenburg region of Russia overnight.
Orenburg, located in southern Russia, is more than 1,200 kilometers away from the Ukrainian front lines.
As Ukraine has recently been focusing its long-range drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, oil supplies in areas such as the Crimean Peninsula, which is under Russian effective control, and border regions have been disrupted.
