Acclaimed Ukrainian actress Oksana Shvets was killed in a Russian shelling attack on a residential building, her theater troupe announced on Facebook Thursday.

The Young Theater, which Shvets was a part of, said in its statement that its members were facing "irreparable grief."

"Honored Artist of Ukraine Oksana Shvets was killed during a missile attack on a residential building in Kyiv," the statement said.

"Bright be the memory of the talented actress!" the statement continued. "There is no forgiveness for the enemy who came to our land!"

The Kyiv Post also reported her death on Twitter, saying Shvets was "murdered in Kyiv during the war."

In addition to her work at the Young Theater, Shvets was known for her role in "Dom s liliyami," a long-running Ukrainian drama television series.

Variety reported that Shvets, born in 1955, was awarded the title of Merited Actress of Ukraine in 1996 — one of the most prestigious acting awards in the country.

Shvets' death comes nearly two weeks after the death of fellow Ukrainian actor, Pasha Lee. Lee was killed in a Russian shelling attack on March 7.
