One person is dead after Ukrainian shelling caused a fire at an oil depot in the separatist-held Donetsk region, the Russian-backed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Territorial Defense Headquarters claimed Wednesday, APA reports citing CNN.
“According to preliminary data, as a result of the shelling of the oil depot in Makiivka, one person was killed and two were injured,” the post from the "DPR" Defense HQ said, adding that “four large capacity tanks” containing 5,000 cubic meters of oil had been ignited.
The Ukrainian Armed forces are yet to respond to the accusation.
