U.S. officials are sharing satellite images they say show Russia has been firing rockets more than 11 kilometers into eastern Ukraine.
The U.S. State Department on Sunday released images it said shows blast marks from where rockets were launched and craters where they landed.
The department says the images come from the U.S. Director of National Intelligence.
The four-page memo is said to shows strikes between July 21 and 26. Officials say one image shows rockets have been fired more than 11 kilometers into Ukraine from Russian soil.

Geoffrey Pyatt, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, released a series of apparent satellite images through his Twitter account Sunday evening. One of the photos, dated July 23, showed several blurred images purporting to show “Russian self-propelled artillery in Russia” firing across the border at a Ukrainian military unit. The images could not be independently verified.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
