KYIV. Aug 14 (Interfax) - People in the Donetsk Budionivskyi district and the town of Mospyno have had a troubled night. Gunfire has destroyed and damaged a number of residential buildings, a hospital and auxiliary structures, the City Council press service reported on Thursday.
Shells ruined an apartment house's roof and floor slabs and set fire to six garages and ten barns in Mospyno. Auxiliary structures were damaged at the Mospynskaya Mine and their floor slabs and roofs were destroyed on an area of 127 square meters. Some shells hit the local hospital, and seven therapeutic department patients had to be moved to another medical facility.
"Artillery fire killed a civilian and eleven civilians suffered wounds of various degrees of severity in Mospyno," the City Council said.
Private homes and auxiliary structures were ruined or damaged in the Donetsk Budionivskyi district.
Tensions remained high in the morning but public transport and utilities operated in a regular regime.
Power supply to more than 3,000 citizens cut by artillery fire in the Petrovskyi district early in the morning on August 13 has been restored. Successful repairs of a substation also resumed power supply to over 10,000 residents of the Tekstilshchyk neighborhood. A power outage is over in the Ploshchadka and Adminposelok neighborhoods in the Kuibyshevskyi district, but there are still no lights in more than 1,000 private homes in the Abakumov neighborhood and three apartment homes in Hrabari, Kuibyshevskyi district.
In turn, the militia of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) claimed that a shell fired by the Ukrainian army had damaged a mine in the Donetsk suburb of Mospyno. "Reportedly, a shell has hit the mine and people are wounded. Garages and auxiliary structures were set on fire," Southeastern Center information center head Kostyantyn Knyrik told Interfax on Thursday.
The militia said the attack on Donetsk started at 10:30 p.m. on August 13 and lasted all through the night. "Traditionally, they shelled the Kuibyshevskyi and Kyivskyi districts, as well as the Leninskyi district. Power supply to the Petrovskyi district and the Tekstilshchyk area has been partially restored but it remains unreliable," Knyrik said.
The militia also reported shootouts in the Horlivka area. "A Sukhoi Su-25 attack plane is circling above the city," Knyrik said.
