Ukrainian artillery and rocket attacks on the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) on Tuesday claimed the lives of three civilians and injured 11 more, among them a child, said the acting head of the Russian region Denis Pushilin.
“Throughout the day, Donetsk was under intense fire by the Ukrainian armed forces,” Pushilin said on his official Telegram channel. He said three people were killed and 11 wounded in the three districts of the city of Donetsk and the nearby town of Shakhtyorsk, including a child born in 2012 and a team of electrical workers trying to repair a power line.
“All the wounded are being treated by doctors,” Pushilin added.
The attack began in the early hours of Tuesday, with the Ukrainians using 122mm rockets as well as 152mm Soviet and 155mm NATO guns. Over the weekend, Donetsk was targeted by cluster munitions that started fires in three districts.
