KRAMATORSK, Ukraine — Ukrainian authorities across the country reported new Russian missile strikes and shelling Saturday that killed at least 16 civilians, deaths that came after Russia's military announced it was stepping up its onslaught against its neighbor.The Russian Defense Ministry said it has ordered the military to intensify its assault on neighboring Ukraine
The new Russian attacks hit areas in the north, the east and the south of Ukraine. Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, has seen especially severe bombardments in recent days, with Ukrainian officials and local commanders voicing fears that a second full-scale Russian assault on the northern city may be looming.
“The bodies of three people were found under the rubble. Three more were injured. The victims are civilians,” Bolvinov added. Russia’s military campaign has been focusing on the Donbas, which includes the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, but Russian forces also have been pounding other parts of the country in a relentless push to wrest territory from Ukraine and crush the morale of its leaders, troops and civilians.
