A Russian actress died when Ukrainian forces attacked while she was performing for soldiers, as reported by her theatre.
A place where Polina Menshikh was dancing in Ukraine was hit by shelling from Ukraine on 19 November.
The actress was said to be performing at a show for a Russian military celebration.
Ukraine said that around 20 Russian soldiers were killed in the attack, but Russian authorities have not said anything about it.
Ms Menshikh was dancing at a small hall that can fit about 150 people, as reported by the locals.
A video claiming to show the time when the attack happened was posted on social media. A lady, maybe Ms Menshikh, is on stage singing and playing guitar. Then there is a big noise and the lights in the hall go off.
Ms Menshikh passed away in the hospital because of her injuries. Russian officials in Donbas confirmed that a woman from Kumachove, born in 1972, has died, but they did not talk about how it happened.
Portal, a theater studio in St Petersburg linked with Ms. Menshikh, announced that an upcoming show of a play she had directed before will be dedicated to her memory.
The strike happened about 60km away from the fighting, in a village called Kumachove.
Kumachove is in eastern Ukraine, controlled by Russia since 2014. In the past few months, there has been a lot of fighting in other parts of Donetsk region, especially in the cities of Avdiika and Bakhmut.
Russian bloggers who support war complained about how the show was put together. A lot of soldiers in one place made it easy for Ukraine to attack, according to the report.
