KABUL: (Middle East Press) A Donetsk official says Ukrainian warplanes have bombed the eastern city of Gorlovka, killing over 30 civilians including children.
Eduard Basurin, the deputy commander of the headquarters of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic said Monday that the Ukrainian military dropped 500-kilogram FAB-500 bombs on Gorlovka’s residential districts a day earlier.
The bomb attack comes as Kiev forces have launched a large-scale offensive against pro-Russian forces in the restive eastern regions.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council is set told a meeting on Wednesday to discuss ways to end the spiraling deadly clashes in Ukraine’s east. The 15-member council will meet at the request of Lithuania in an attempt to find a solution to the crisis, which has flared up in recent days.
