Other evacuation routes include ones from Berdiansk, Tokmak, Enerhodar and Sievierodonetsk.
The governor of Ukraine’s Luhansk region, Serhiy Gaidai, meanwhile urged residents of six towns to evacuate, adding that one person had been killed and five wounded in Russian shelling of the town of Kreminna.
