"This is clearly a well-orchestrated sabotage. Our experts are currently working on the shelling scene to find out the truth of what has happened. We believe that heavy weaponry was used, possibly Grad multiple rocket launchers," a ministry spokesman told the Donetsk news agency.

Four people were killed and at least nine others were wounded when a shell hit the bus station "Center" on Wednesday morning. The attack also damaged two buses, the roof of the bus station’s building and a nearby supermarket.
