Fierce fighting continues in Donbass. A few days ago, a Russian missile hit a supermarket. Now a shopping center has been destroyed in an artillery attack on Donetsk.
According to local authorities, a shopping center was hit in an attack on the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk. The Russian state news agency Tass, citing emergency services, reported at least two dead and seven injured. Video footage released by the Russian agency Ria Novosti showed thick clouds of smoke billowing out of a completely burnt-out building.
The fire in the Galaktika shopping center was the result of an attack by the Ukrainian armed forces, wrote the head of the Donetsk region annexed by Russia, Denis Pushilin, on his Telegram channel. An area of more than 10,000 square meters was ablaze. A hospital was also hit. According to local authorities, the district in which the shopping center is located was the target of artillery fire by the Ukrainian army. The information could not be independently verified.
Just a week ago, at least 12 people were killed and 44 injured in a Russian missile strike on a supermarket in the town of Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region, according to authorities.
