The number of fatalities in the Ukrainian shelling of a busy market in Donetsk has climbed to at least 25, Denis Pushilin, the leader of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic, has said.
Some 20 civilians were wounded in the “horrendous” attack on Sunday, he wrote in a post on Telegram.
Many of the injured are in a serious condition, including with “penetrating wounds in the area of vital organs and traumatic amputation of limbs,” according to the official. Two children were wounded in the bombardment, with their condition described as moderate, the regional chief added.
The bombardment, which hit the Kirov District in the southwest of the city, was carried out with the use of 152mm and 155mm munitions, Pushilin said.
