[RIA Novosti] The Ukrainian military is constantly attacking a school in the front-line village of Aleksandrovka in the Donetsk People's Republic, civilians who are forced to hide in the basement of the building told RIA Novosti.

"The shelling is constant. The whole school is broken, <...> the basement is trembling, the whole school is shaking, glass, everything is crumbling. They are breaking everything: shops, schools," Nikolai Bondarenko told RIA Novosti.

According to the interlocutor of the agency, his house was destroyed in 2014.

“My house was broken. In the 14th year there was a hit. And I was wounded in the 14th year. I went to work, got injured. My fingers were torn off. I had seven wounds,” Bondarenko said.

He added that he now lives in the basement. During the interview, artillery strikes and the noise of a drone were heard.

“Every day, every second, we are waiting for peace. So that the children do not lie down and do not get up to the sounds of the Grad. So that they rejoice every day,” local Valentina Cherkas, in turn, told RIA Novosti.

According to the woman, her house burned down, and her grandson died two years ago.

The village of Aleksandrovka belongs to the Petrovsky district of Donetsk and is located one kilometer from the village of Maryinka, where the positions of the Ukrainian forces are located and from where the artillery shelling of the capital of the DPR is being carried out . There is no water supply in the village, and electricity is rare due to constant shelling.
