Two civilians have been killed and seven injured by Ukrainian shelling on Tuesday in different parts of separatist-controlled areas of the Donetsk region, a local official said.
“Two people have been killed today as a result of shelling by Ukrainian armed formations – [one each] in the Kirovskiy district of Donetsk and Vladymirovka in Volnovakha,” the head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, said in a Telegram message.
“Another seven people were wounded in Donetsk, Makiivka and Staromikhailivka, including a 17-year-old boy,” the post added.
Several homes, two schools and a hospital were damaged by the shelling, he said.
“The [DPR] Republic was shelled 93 times, with more than 490 MLRS rockets, including Turkish-made rockets, being fired, including 152mm and 155mm caliber artillery shells,” Pushilin added.
