| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. After some lull in Donetsk, shelling resumed. Black smoke enveloped the central area of ​​the city. There have been reports of hits on residential buildings. Sirens sound in the city. People are asked not to leave their homes and move to a safe place if possible. The footage published in local public shows how the shell hits a residential high-rise. There is no updated data on how many people have been injured today as a result of shelling, at the time of publication of the note. This is how it is now in the very center of Donetsk. The city is empty, at the Donbass Palace hotel there is a traffic police car on duty. However, there are those who dare to move under the retinue of shells. Since Saturday morning, June 18, Donetsk has been under heavy shelling. Like yesterday, most of the "arrivals" were in the Kiev region. The part of the district bordering the city center was damaged: shells landed next to the Donbass Arena, Yunost. Part of the area was left without electricity and the Internet. However, as Donetsk residents themselves say, ExpoDonbass is most likely the main target. Since 2015, the exhibition center has been turned into a large storage base for supplies and equipment. The location was not particularly hidden. The "DPR" military posted photos of the halls filled with supplies. There are a lot of photos on the net with BMPs, Grads and tanks on the territory of ExpoDonbass. Today, due to heavy shelling, public transport partially did not run. The supply of water was stopped (in the city it has been given by the hour for several months). The buildings of the Faculty of Chemistry of DonNU, the Museum of Local Lore, the Prodmash plant in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk, and the Topaz plant got it. In areas where it is quieter, people are trying to adapt to realities. Today they even held a food fair in the Kuibyshev region, although it is not the quietest. It is known about the injured and dead among the civilian population. Minibus No. 26 came under fire in the Voroshilovsky district (the center of Donetsk). Three people were reported injured. There is also information about at least two dead. In the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk, an employee of the "Ministry of Emergency Situations" died. Three more rescuers and the driver were hospitalized with various injuries. The driver later died from his injuries. |
