Ukrainian troops have shelled residential buildings in Donetsk using NATO-supplied 155mm caliber artillery, the city’s officials said on Tuesday.
An apartment complex in the capital of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) “took a direct hit,” Mayor Alexey Kulemzin wrote on Telegram.
Civilians were killed and wounded in the shelling, Kulemzin added.
Russian news agency TASS reported that the Ukrainians shelled a hotel where journalists are staying.
A video posted on social media shows gray smoke rising from what appears to be a building in Donetsk.

RT (Russia Today) is a state-owned news organization funded by the Russian government. The information provided by this news source is being included by the Libertarian Hub not as an endorsement of the Russian government, but rather because it is being actively censored by Big Tech, Western governments and the corporate press. During times of conflict it is imperative that we have access to both sides of the story so we can form our own opinions, even if both sides are spewing their own propaganda. The censorship of RT, despite likely being a propaganda outfit for the Russian government, reduces our ability to hear one side of the conflict. For that reason, the Libertarian Hub will temporarily republish the RSS feed from RT. Visit https://rt.com
