Bus stop shelling kills 13 in Donetsk
At least 13 Ukrainians have been killed and dozens injured as a trolleybus station came under shelling in the eastern province of Donetsk, local officials say.
The attack which happened during rush hour on Thursday morning has reportedly shocked the residents of Donetsk’s Leninsky district who believed their district to be “a quiet place.”
This comes as according to the Ukrainian defense ministry, six Ukrainian servicemen have been killed and 16 others injured and captured in the fighting for the Donetsk airport over the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, foreign ministers of the Normandy Quartet -- Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and France -- met each other in the German capital Berlin on Wednesday to discuss ways to end the deadly clashes in eastern Ukraine.
Back in September, the representatives of Ukraine, Russia, and self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk republics inked a ceasefire deal in the Belarusian capital, Minsk. The truce has been violated almost on a daily basis by both the Ukrainian military and pro-Russia forces in eastern Ukraine.
The two mainly Russian-speaking regions of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine have been the scene of deadly clashes between pro-Russia protesters and the Ukrainian army since Kiev’s military operation started in mid-April in a bid to crush the protests.
According to the latest figures released by the United Nations, around 5,000 people have been killed in the fighting.
