The Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at a civilian truck in the DPR
The Ukrainian military fired an anti-tank guided missile at a BelAZ truck located near a limestone waste heap in the DPR-controlled city of Dokuchaevsk.
It is reported Representation of the DPR in the JCCC, the correspondent of PolitNavigator reports.
According to operational information, the shelling was carried out from the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the village of Novotroitskoye in the direction of the city of Dokuchaevsk.
At the time the shell hit, the driver was in the cab of the truck and died on the spot.
“A direct hit, a single shot, presumably from an ATGM, damaged the BelAZ car, killing the driver. Now I’m calling the director to find out the reason. They were bringing crushed stone for screening, got into the line of sight and fired an ATGM at them,” Yuri Timerey, director of the Dokuchaevsky Flux-Dolomite Plant, commented on the incident.
According to JCCC information, a Vityaz company truck delivered limestone screenings to the enterprise and while unloading the mass received a direct hit from an anti-tank missile.
It is noted that the ambulance cannot go to the scene of the emergency due to its close location to the front line.
The DPR representative office in the JCCC, in turn, requested security guarantees to establish a regime of silence for the evacuation of the body of the deceased. Information about the incident was also transferred to the OSCE SMM.
Let us remind you that earlier PolitNavigator reported that military correspondents of the press service of the NM DPR prepared a story in which they provided evidence that The Ukrainian Armed Forces provoke the DPR army to open fire, firing on both sides of the front line.
