Three people have been killed, 15 others injured as Kiev forces fired a Tochka-U missile at Svatovo, the JCCC said.

At 6:50 p.m. Ukrainian armed forces fired three Tochka-U missiles at Svatovo, as a result, three people have been killed, 15 injured," the report reads.

Four children are among the casualties.

The number of victims might have been bigger, the LPR Head Leonid Pasechnik said.

The Air Defence downed the missiles, but one of the cassette warheads exploded over the town.

The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014.  The peace talks participants 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regularly violated the truce opening fire with large caliber artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn from the contact line under the accords. *t*s
