Heavy shelling in residential streets of eastern Ukraine

 

Qazet.az reports according Jonathan Beale from BBC

The war in eastern Ukraine is still largely an artillery battle. Overnight, there was more heavy shelling.

“We stayed the night in Sloviansk, more than 20km from the frontline. We thought we’d be relatively safe in a residential area. But at just after 23:00 GMT we woke to a sudden and very loud burst of Russian shelling. We took refuge in a bunker.”

"In the morning, once the curfew was lifted, we surveyed the damage. The strikes were just 200m from where we" were staying. There were small craters in the pavement along with smashed glass from the windows of nearby apartment blocks.
