Ukraine: Two miners injured by Kiev’s shelling

THE Ukrainian coup regime shelled the capital of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) yesterday, injuring two miners on their way to work.

After the fighting broke out on Monday, a Russian presidential spokesman blamed Kiev’s far-right militias for trying to seize territory from anti-fascist DPR militia in breach of an ongoing ceasefire.

The two coalminers were walking to work in the north-eastern suburb of Makiivka yesterday morning when they were wounded by the bombardment, the Donetsk News Agency reported.
