DONETSK,
September 9. /TASS/. The Ukrainian military during the night to Saturday shelled
the Petrov district in Donetsk’s west, where 5,000 residents remain in
blackout, the district’s head Maxim Zhukovsky told the Donetsk News Agency on
Saturday.
"At
night, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled the Trudovskiye settlement, leaving
the high-voltage cable damaged there," he said. "Thus, about 5,000
people remain in blackout."
Command of
the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) reported "two houses
in the Petrov district were damaged in the shelling."
Since the
fall of 2014, participants in the Contact Group on East Ukrainian settlement
have announced about a dozen of ceasefire deals. On June 24, the so-called
"harvest ceasefire" came into effect - it was expected to hold until
the end of August. However, shelling incidents continued to happen.
On August
23, the Contact Group members declared a "back-to-school" ceasefire
in Donbass starting from August 25. However, on that very day, defense
authorities of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk Republics reported that
their territories had come under shelling from positions of the Ukrainian
troops. Kiev, in turn, has been accusing the republics of violating the
ceasefire.
