A Ukrainian strike on the Russian city of Donetsk has killed at least three people and injured one, according to Aleksey Kulemzin, mayor of the Donetsk People’s Republic’s capital.
Kulemzin stated on Telegram that the Kalininsky District in the city’s east was targeted on Monday.
Footage supposedly taken at the scene showed multiple people on the ground as well as the flaming debris of a car that had been damaged in the attack.
According to the Republic’s Joint Centre for Control and Coordination, eight missiles from a multiple rocket launch system were launched at Kalininsky District at 3 p.m. local time.
Donetsk, which is located close to Russia’s front line, has frequently been a target of Ukrainian strikes amid the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. But, earlier this month, the city of some 600,000 came under one of the worst attacks when 25 civilians were killed and 20 others wounded during a weekend bombardment of a busy market.
Moscow denounced the strike as “a barbaric terrorist act” carried out by Ukraine with Western support, citing the use of weaponry supplied by the United States and its allies. Kiev’s actions have once again demonstrated that Russia’s military operation in Ukraine must be successful, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
