Donetsk, Sep 11 – DAN. A house caught fire in the Trudovskaya neighbourhood in Donetsk’s Petrovskiy district as Ukrainian forces shelled the area, the Donetsk People’s Republic Office at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination reported on Wednesday.

“At 14:40, Ukrainian armed formations opened small arms fire in the direction of Trudovskaya in Donetsk,” the report said. “As a result, the house at 67 Mamin-Sibiryak Street caught fire.”

The DPR People’s Militia said that fire had been delivered from positions of the Ukrainian army’s 28th Mechanised Brigade commanded by Maxim Marchenko.
