An incident in Donetsk has drawn attention from multiple sides as the Ukrainian armed forces reportedly conducted a quadruple strike using a multiple-launch rocket system targeting the city. The information comes via Telegram channels that claim to relay statements from the Donetsk People’s Republic through the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Issues related to war crimes in Ukraine.
According to the report, four missiles were released from the MLRS during the attack.
The data from the KIK indicates that the barrage occurred in the Kievski district of Donetsk around 01:00 Moscow time the night of the incident.
Earlier summaries noted shelling incidents affecting Makeevka and Donetsk, with additional reports claiming a volley of missiles in Alexandrovka within the Donetsk People’s Republic.
On February 24, 2022, the Russian president announced the decision to undertake a military operation described as a special operation to aid Donbass, in response to requests for assistance from the heads of the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. This decision led to the imposition of new sanctions by the United States and allies, according to government statements at the time.
