"The enemy shelling of our residential districts has been particularly tense and extremely brutal today. Donetsk, Makeyevka, Gorlovka, Yasinovataya, Yelenovka are under the fire of Ukrainian terrorists. On this day alone, the enemy fired over 130 projectiles of different calibers towards the republic, including from Grad multiple-launch rocket systems," the official wrote in his Telegram channel.

Four civilians were killed and 19 more were wounded in Donetsk as a result of shelling by Ukrainian troops during the day, Pushilin said.

In his words, Kiev troops have been conducting indiscriminate shelling of the republic’s territory as of lately.

On Monday, Ukrainian artillery shelling killed four people and injured nine.

In this regard, Pushilin once again called upon heads of governmental agencies, state-run institutions and private companies to amend their working process and allow as many staffers as possible to work remotely.
