Two civilians wounded in Ukraine’s shelling of Yasinovataya — DPR

Both were taken to hospital in Donetsk

DONETSK, March 10. /TASS/. Two civilians were wounded as Ukrainian troops shelled Yasinovatay’s southern suburb, a source in the law enforcement agencies of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) said on Friday.

"A 65-year-old man and a 19-year-old girl were wounded in the settlement of Donetsk-Severny in Yasinovatay’s southern suburb," the Donetsk News Agency quoted him as saying.

According to the source, both were taken to hospital in Donetsk.

Earlier, Deputy Chief Monitor of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine Alexander Hug said that 16 civilians had been killed and 70 had been wounded in Donbass since the beginning of the year.

Since autumn 2014, the Contact Group on the settlement in Donbass has agreed more than ten ceasefires but none lasted for long, with the parties to the conflict accusing each other of breaking them down.
