Ukrainian troops have located Grad multiple rocket launchers that are used by pro-Russian militants to fire at residential quarters of Donetsk, Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) spokesman Andriy Lysenko said.
“We’ve got information that three Grad multiple rocket launchers are
now on the territory of Donetsk military academy,” Lysenko said at a
briefing on Friday.
Lysenko claims that it’s these Grad systems that are regularly moved
to the city and used to fire at residential buildings in Donetsk.
What is more, militants have concealed three T-72 tanks and three
Grad multiple rocket launchers in Donetsk’ Kirovsky district and the
Sontseve residential area, while antiaircraft emplacements have been
installed on the roofs of apartment buildings in Horlivka.
Lysenko said that by placing their firing positions in residential
areas of cities and towns, the militants endanger civilian’s lives.
