Donetsk is under fire again. More than two thousand ammunition rounds were fired by the Ukrainian forces in recent days. They use howitzers, mortars and rocket artillery, aiming at the residential areas. A child was killed overnight and two more were wounded. Settlements in the vicinity of Donetsk - those that are closest to the line of demarcation, suffer the most.
The Ukrainian artillery deliberately aims at residential areas. Street lighting, water supply and heating systems have been damaged.
Streets of Kievsky district of Donetsk are literally strewn with fragments from 82-mm mortars. Shells fly by within a few meters from houses. Thousands of city residents take their children out of their houses during the shelling, and into basements.
By one account, from a veteran of WWII, Vera Borymskaya, had left her house a minute before shelling had targeted her area. Shell fragments riddle the walls of her apartment.
According to the latest information, 90 rockets, 120 and 82 millimeter caliber, 29 rounds of rocket-propelled grenades, and two tank shots were fired by Ukrainian forces in the northern part of Donetsk. This area of the city is on the line of demarcation of the sides and is attacked almost daily.
