    “At 10:13 am today (Thursday), Ukraine began shelling central Donetsk. There were five powerful blasts in the space of ten minutes. The last explosion blew out my hotel’s ground-floor glass, including a sitting room – where journalists often congregate before and after going out to do field reporting – and the lobby. About one minute earlier, I had passed through the latter. A cameraman’s assistant who was there at the time of that fifth explosion suffered a concussion from the force of the blast. A woman walking outside the building was killed, as were at least four others, including a child. ”

    I have no illusions about this war.

    But in this case, the terrible truth is that both of them died in a Ukrainian strike that exploded near the Donetsk Opera House.

    They were killed by UKRAINIAN shelling of Donetsk, just like Ukraine was doing for 8 years since 2014.
