Ukrainian artillery struck the city of Gorlovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic shortly after midnight on Saturday, according to Mayor Ivan Prikhodko. A kindergarten and a hotel were among the buildings damaged by the attack, which also disrupted the power supply.
Two civilians were wounded at the ‘Rodina’ hotel, which appears to have caught the brunt of the attack. Videos posted by Prikhodko on Telegram showed bloody footprints and the floor collapsed from the impact of a projectile.
Four more people, including a first responder, suffered injuries elsewhere in the city, Prikhodko added.
Damage was also reported to the ‘Teremok’ kindergarten, several residences on Pushkin Street and a dental clinic. The neighborhood of ‘Kvartal 245’ in the city center was temporarily left without power.
The last major artillery attack on Gorlovka was almost three weeks ago, when one civilian was killed and four more were injured. The Galaktika shopping center was completely destroyed on the occasion.
