You're reading: US to wait for results of probe into deaths of teens in Donetsk – State Department

Washington -- US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki has not answered the question of whether she trusts Kyiv's reports that pro-Russian separatists are responsible for the shelling of a school in Donetsk, in which two teenagers were killed. 

“No reason to question it, but obviously, there’ll be an investigation. So we’ll see how that investigation is concluded,” she said at a briefing on Thursday.

Psaki noted that the United States “condemns the shelling of a school in Donetsk that left at least two children dead and wounded many others.”

“We certainly would support an investigation into this,” she said.

As reported, two teenagers were killed and four others were injured after a shell hit a school playing ground in Donetsk on November 5.
