More than 300 houses and 53 civil infrastructure facilities in the Lugansk People’s Republic have been damaged in shelling by Ukrainian forces since February 17, the LPR Office at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination (JCCC) reported.
“Three hundred and nine houses have been destroyed or damaged in 23 settlements (Pervomaisk, Bryanka, Kirovsk, Irmino, Aleksandrovsk, Berezovskoye, Golubovskoye, Donetsky, Lomovatka, Zolotoye-5, Nikolayevka, Molochny, Rayevka, Znamenka, Kalinovo, Krasny Yar, Prince Igor monument area, Khristovoye, Vesyolaya Gora, Pionerskoye, Lozovoye, Prishib and Pankovka),” the report said.
Since February 17, Kiev forces have damaged “53 civil infrastructure facilities including a nursery school and a secondary school in Pervomaisk, a school and a college in Bryanka, schools in Irmino and Kalinovo, an outpatient clinic in the Donetsky township, a hospital in Irmino, transmission lines and gas pipes in nine settlements,” the JCCC said.
The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. The members of the Contact Group have announced ceasefire more than 20 times since the autumn of 2014. Kiev forces regularly violated the truce opening fire with large caliber artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn from the contact line under the accords. *i*t
