Terror Attack in Donetsk - Ukrainian Special Services Lob RPG at DPR Defense Ministry
Ukrainian special services may be involved in a terrorist act in Donetsk, has stated the DPR Defense Ministry which was shelled from an RPG on Thursday evening. The staff wasn't injured.
Our special correspondent Alexander Sladkov is following the investigation.
The Defense Ministry of the Donetsk People's Republic was shelled on Thursday at 19:25. Investigation teams are already here as well as the representatives of the power ministries and the Minister of Defense himself, Vladimir Kononov. He explains what's going on.
Vladimir Kononov: "The Donetsk People's Republic has many decent men who don't let Ukrainian and fascist invaders impose the will which they don't share. But it was a bit of a failure. Not a single employee of the Ministry was injured. Only the building and some personal belongings and cases were damaged, but I think we'll restore it quickly".
- It was an improvised RPG. The building of the Ministry was shelled. The shot was likely to be made remotely.
- Is it possible that the infiltrators that are located along the border of the Republic continue the sabotage attacks?
Eduard Basurin, DPR deputy commander-in-chief: I'm sure it is. I'm not saying that it's impossible because you've mentioned the infiltrators along the border, but we are now in the rear. We don't mean this very group, Ukraine's National Security Agency will send many of them, which makes possible not only sabotage attacks against individuals, but also social facilities.
Despite the fact that we are in a peaceful city center, hazardous situations may occur at any moment.
