MOSCOW, September 8. /TASS/. Military officials in the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics in eastern Ukraine have reported new shellings conducted by the Kiev forces.
Over the past 24 hours the militia positions in the

The fire was opened from tripod-mounted man-portable
antitank guns at the area of a monument to Prince Igor from the direction of
Stanitsa Luganskaya. The neighboring Kalinovka village was shelled from the
direction of the Luganskoye village. An area of the Khryaschevka village came
under fire from small arms from the direction of the Sizoye village.
The military officials in the Donetsk republic said the
Kiev forces opened fire from their positions in Avdeyevka, Pesky and Shirokino
