While the Kiev regime has successfully steered Western media attention to what it says is happening in Severodonetsk, its artillery is pounding civilian areas of the city of Donetsk. DPR military authorities reported this morning that five civilians, including a child, were killed in shelling by Kiev gunmen in the period from 03:00, June 13 to 03:00, June 14. The enemy used “Uragan” and “Grad” multiple rocket launchers, 155mm, 152mm, and 122mm artillery, 120mm mortars, grenade launchers, and small arms. Overall, Ukrainian forces fired 620 rounds of ammunition of caliber over 12.7mm in that period, nearly triple the rounds they fired during the previous 24 hours.
Another 39 civilians, including three children, were wounded, reported the Donetsk News agency. Over the past 24 hours, 95 houses and civil infrastructure facilities were damaged in three Donetsk districts, Gorlovka, and Verkhnetoretskoye. Reports on Monday said that shelling had damaged five hospitals, including a maternity home in the DPR capital.
