Donetsk-Sana
The Donetsk People's Republic announced the killing of a civilian and 3 of its soldiers as a result of shelling by Ukrainian forces on its territory during the previous 24 hours.
The spokesman for the republic's forces, Eduard Basurin, said in his telegram channel that the Ukrainian forces bombed eight populated areas of the republic, causing the death of a civilian and wounding five others.
Basurin indicated that 3 soldiers were killed and 16 others were wounded while performing their combat duty to defend the republic's lands.
The Ukrainian regime has escalated its attacks on Donbass lands since last year in parallel with plans to invade the Republic of Crimea, prompting the Donetsk and Lugansk republics to request Russian assistance and start a special military operation on the 24th of last February to protect civilians in Donbass and stop the crimes of the Kyiv regime against them.
