The Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin arrived at the site of the Tochka-U missile crash in Donetsk. According to the head of the republic, there are children among the dead.
Denis Pushilin reported the details of the shelling of the center of Donetsk. According to him, if ‘Tochka-U’ had flown to its destination, then with a radius of destruction of 500 m, there would have been nothing left alive at all.
“‘Tochka-U’ was shot down, but even the wreckage brought such damage and death to the civilian population. People stood in line at the ATM and at the bus stop. ‘Tochka-U’ carried a prohibited cluster charge. If it had not been shot down, then there would have been disproportionately more victims.” the head of the republic said.
People’s militia of the DPR declares that it regards the strike by Tochka-U on Donetsk as a terrorist act, believes that Ukrainian troops used a rocket to shell Donetsk in order to genocide civilians.
The head of the republic announced mourning in the DPR after the missile attack on the city. “The offensive operation will be continued and, if possible, accelerated,” Pushilin said at the site of the strike. According to him, 15 Tochka-U missiles have been shot down over the DPR since the beginning of the offensive operation.
