​​​​​​​KYIV, Ukraine (AA) - At least one Ukrainian soldier was killed and another was injured in the pro-Russian separatists’ attack in Donbass, eastern Ukraine, on Saturday.

Ukrainian Armed Forces said in a statement that Ukrainian soldiers were attacked by pro-Russian separatists in the Pisky region of Donbass, killing one and wounding another.

Fighting between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian separatists in Donbass has seen more than 13,000 people killed since 2014, according to the UN.

The region is one of several sources of friction between Russia and Ukraine, including Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, which Turkey, the EU, US, and UN General Assembly all view as illegal.
