Ukrainian tanks attack Russian positions in Donetsk region

UKRAINIAN tanks attack Russian positions in the Donetsk region as combat rages on in the area.

Donetsk and the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine make up the Donbas area where Russian-backed separatists and Russian troops have seized large swathes of land since 2014.

Ukraine and its Western backers say Russia is waging an unprovoked war against a sovereign state.

Russia denies targeting civilian sites in its military action, though the incursion has caused thousands of casualties and destroyed entire Ukrainian towns.
