Deadly shelling by Armed Forces of Ukraine claims life of man in Donetsk

Donetsk, May 12 – On Friday, the mayor of the city of Donetsk, Aleksey Kolymzin, said that a man was killed as a result of the bombing of the Kievsky district of Donetsk.

“As a result of the bombing of the Kiev region, a man between the ages of 40 and 50 was killed. Personal data is being identified,” Kulemzin wrote on his Telegram channel.

Earlier, the DRC’s representative office at the Joint Center for Monitoring and Coordination of Cases Related to War Crimes in Ukraine reported that at 8.40 Moscow time on Friday, Ukrainian forces fired six 155mm shells at Kiev and Kuibyshevsky districts of Donetsk.

The Kiev region of Donetsk is located in the northern part of the city. Since 2014, when the DNR declared independence from Kiev following a military coup there, the area has been regularly bombed by Ukrainian security forces. The airport is the northern outskirts of the region, completely destroyed as a result of long months of fighting between the Ukrainian army besieged there and Donetsk militias that stormed their positions.
