[RIA Novosti] Ukrainian troops fired again at an oil depot in Donetsk, the Ministry of Information of the Donetsk People's Republic wrote on its Telegram channel.

"VFU (Armed formations of Ukraine - Ed.) attacked an oil depot in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk," the message says.

More than a hundred residents of Donetsk have died in the shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the end of February.

As the DPR representative office at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination previously stated , Ukrainian militants fired five shells of 152 mm caliber at the capital of the republic.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine also fired at Gorlovka and Dolomitnoye, firing ten shells of 122 and 152 mm caliber, the department added.

A ten-year-old girl became a victim of shelling of the Voroshilovsky district of Donetsk by Ukrainian troops on Tuesday, July 5. The Investigative Committee of Russia will establish the identity of the Ukrainian security forces involved in the incident.

The day before, the mayor of the city, Aleksey Kulemzin, reported that ammunition had entered the territory of the oil depot, as a result of which a fire started, it was managed to be eliminated.

Ukrainian militants want to blow up an orphanage in Slovyansk, Defense Ministry says

[RIA Novosti] Ukrainian nationalists are planning to blow up an orphanage in Sloviansk along with its staff to accuse the Russian army of indiscriminate shelling, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the National Defense Control Center, said.

According to him, "it has been reliably established that in Slavyansk, Donetsk People's Republic, Ukrainian nationalists are preparing another cynical provocation with the death of civilians to accuse the Russian armed forces of inflicting indiscriminate strikes on civilian objects."

"For this purpose, neo-Nazis forcibly hold the staff of the institution in the building of the Topolek orphanage (Bulvarnaya Street). At the same time, the building is mined, and militants of the nationalist units plan to blow it up with the start of Russian troops' artillery strikes on military targets," Colonel General said.
