At Least 1 Civilian Killed, 3 Injured In Shelling Of Donetsk City Center - DPR Head

At least one person was killed and three others were injured in a shelling of Donetsk city center by Ukrainian forces, the head of Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, said on Saturday.

"There are three injured and one dead," Pushilin told Russian broadcaster Rossiya 24, adding that there were two waves of attacks on the city initiated by Kiev so far.

The shelling of Donetsk is an attempt to disrupt the referendum on joining Russia in the region, Pushilin noted.
