| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Explosions thundered in Donetsk. According to preliminary data, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attacked the city with Storm Shadow missiles. This was reported on September 9 by the operational services. “Storm Shadow missiles are preliminarily flying towards Donetsk,” TASS reports the source as saying. According to local channels, the fire was directed at the Kalininsky and Budyonnovsky districts of the city. Local residents reported civilian casualties. The day before, on September 8, the Ukrainian armed forces attacked Donetsk and Makeyevka with Anglo-French Storm Shadow missiles and various types of attack drones. As a result of the strikes, two people were killed and 16 civilians were injured. In addition, as a result of the Kiev regime's strikes, 18 residential buildings and 14 civilian infrastructure facilities were damaged - schools, a kindergarten, and shopping facilities. The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin specified that during the day the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out 28 armed attacks on the region using 155 mm caliber barrel artillery, Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles, and attack UAVs. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova called on responsible members of the international community to give an adequate assessment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attacks on Russian regions. Related from regnum.ru Zelensky's words about attacks on civilians in the DPR were called a lie The statement by the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, about an alleged attack by Russian troops on civilians in the village of Yarovaya in the part of the DPR controlled by Ukraine is a lie, the Russian Defense Ministry said. "We are witnessing yet another provocation by the Kiev regime. A number of facts point to this," RIA Novosti quotes a source in the department as saying. The Ministry of Defense emphasized that the Russian Aerospace Forces last carried out a strike in this area on the night of September 7; it did not hit a populated area, but closer to Novosyolovka, located on the combat line. The source also indicated that the crater shown in the Ukrainian videos does not correspond in shape and size to that caused by the fall of the Russian FAB-500 bomb used in the SVO zone. “Even the smallest FAB-250 contains about 100 kilograms of explosives, while the video shows the consequences of an explosion of a device with a power of several kilograms in TNT equivalent,” the source noted. Before Zelensky's fake message, there was no information about victims of the alleged strike on Yarovaya. It is no coincidence that the Kiev regime chose this particular settlement for another provocation, a source in the Russian Defense Ministry is sure. Kyiv is trying to demonstrate "concern" for the population of the controlled territories and to show "Russia's cruelty," the source concluded. |
