At least 25 killed in shelling at a market in Donetsk, say officials

The number of people killed by shelling at a market on the outskirts of the city of Donetsk in Russian-occupied Ukraine on Sunday has been revised again.

Local officials are now saying at least 25 were killed in the strike, reports AP.

A further 20 people were injured in the strike on the suburb of Tekstilshchik, including two children, said Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian-installed authorities in Donetsk. He said the shells had been fired by the Ukrainian military.

Kyiv has not commented on the event and the claims could not be independently verified by the Associated Press.
