Chairman of the Donetsk Regional State Administration Pavlo Zhebrivsky specified that a family had been injured in Troitske: a 12-year-old boy and his father were killed, his mother and an elder brother were seriously wounded.

"The family lives in Myronivske, but came to their cottage in Troitske. At night, the shelling began, everyone went down to the basement and hid there for a long time. When they thought that the danger was over, they left the basement, but the last shell got into the area just then", - Zhebrivsky wrote on his Facebook page.
