Shooting spotted in ‘DPR’-controlled territory

This is stated in the Mission’s report.

"A Ukrainian Armed Forces officer and a Russian Federation Armed Forces officer described that as an exchange of fire in the area of the Volvo Centre (“DPR”-controlled, 12km west-north-west of Donetsk). At 13:05hrs, another Russian Federation Armed Forces JCCC officer told the SMM that as a result of this exchange, a “DPR” member was killed and another one was injured. The SMM was unable to immediately visit the location of the incident, due to security concerns. At 13:28hrs, two vehicles arrived in the observation post parking area and a “DPR” member showed the SMM the body of a young man, who the “DPR” member claimed had been killed in the alleged exchange of fire.. A short while later, two other vehicles with four armed “DPR” members arrived at the parking lot and one of them became verbally aggressive towards the SMM," reads the report.

The overall situation in Donetsk region remains calm, as noted in the OSCE report.
