At least 4 killed as they tried to escape the city of Kreminna while 4 others died in Russian bombing in the neighbouring region of Donetsk.
Russian strikes on Monday killed at least eight civilians in the embattled eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, local authorities said.
Four died as they tried to escape the city of Kreminna which Russian forces captured earlier on Monday, Lugansk regional governor Sergiy Gaiday said on Telegram.
"Several people tried to flee and the orcs (Russian forces) shot the car. Four people died instantly," he said, adding that another person was injured.
Four other civilians died in Russian bombing in the neighbouring region of Donetsk around 20 kilometres (12 miles) east of Kreminna, according to regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.
