Three killed in Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk market – DPR

Four more have been wounded, local officials say

Ukrainian troops shelled the Mayski market in Donetsk on Monday, killing three people and injuring four, Donetsk People’s Republic officials have said.

Yan Gagin, an adviser to the Donetsk government, told reporters that a woman and a child are among those killed.

City officials also reported that a hospital and a gas pipeline were damaged.

Local media said that 10 rockets were launched at Donetsk from a Ukrainian-controlled area.

Mayor Alexey Kulemzin wrote on his Telegram channel that 13 people were injured in the district of Donetsk where the market is located on Monday.

Russia, along with the Donbass forces, and Ukraine have repeatedly accused each other of shelling residential areas and killing civilians. Moscow insists that it only strikes military sites.

On Sunday, Sergey Gayday, a senior Ukrainian-appointed official, said that Russian forces shelled the city of Lisichansk, also in Donbass, killing three people, including a six-year-old boy.
