At least two civilians were killed by Ukrainian troops' shelling in Yasinovataya

Moscow, Apr 9 (RHC) At least two civilians were killed by Ukrainian troops' shelling in Yasinovataya, Donetsk People's Republic, local authorities reported Sunday.

According to the Donetsk Telegram´s latest report, the dead were two men aged 35 and 36, while 16 others were severely injured.

Yasinovataya region was shelled by Ukrainian forces by using 23 155-mm artillery shells as well as two missiles from a multiple launch system.

Russia has been conducting a special military operation in Ukraine since February 24, 2022, claiming that Donetsk and Lugansk Republics needed to be aided, as they condemned, ahead of Kyiv´s hostile genocide.

Donetsk and Lugansk became independent from Ukraine in May 2014 after not recognizing the new authorities resulting from the coup d’état produced in Kyiv in February 2022. (Source: PL)
