[1/5] Rescuers work at a site of a residential building heavily damaged by a Russian missile strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in the town of Novohrodivka, Donetsk region, Ukraine November 30, 2023.
Russia fired six missiles at three settlements in the region, most of which is occupied by Russian forces, Klymenko said on Telegram messaging app.
Later, Donetsk authorities said rescuers found one body while four others, including one child, were still under the rubble.
Invading Russian forces have occupied much of Donetsk and Russia has said it intends to take over the whole region.
The Ukrainian military said earlier on Thursday its air defence shot down 14 out of 20 drones in a Russian overnight strike.
