According to Seleznev, 9 people died as a result of the helicopter crash. The helicopter was returning from a checkpoint where it was delivering cargo and was shot down by a missile fired from a man-portable anti-aircraft missile system.
“There were also specialists on board who installed equipment to organize monitoring of the space and record facts of violation of the Plan for Resolving the Peaceful Conflict in Eastern Ukraine,” Seleznev claims.
According to the head of the Center for Military-Political Studies, Dmitry Tymchuk, the helicopter was transporting cargo for the military to Mount Karachun.
“This is the tenth helicopter destroyed by our soldiers.
In retaliation, the enemy is again leveling Semenovka with phosphorus and fragmentation shells,” social media users quote a message from DPR Defense Minister Igor Strelkov.
As Navigator reported, today the Slavic militias said that the truce had not begun: in the morning the military fired mortars at the village of Semenovka. The ATO headquarters, in turn, claims that rioters attacked.
