Three civilians were killed and another five sustained various injuries in Donetsk last Sunday, the city council said on Monday.

Also, multiple shell strikes on residential and administrative buildings, including that of the Kyivsky District Council, have been registered in the Kuibyshevsky and Kyivsky districts over the past 24 hours.

Direct projectile hits and shrapnel caused massive damage to gas-distribution equipment and pipelines.

As of 1000 a.m. on Monday the situation in the city has been extremely tense. The sounds of occasional shots from heavy weaponry and series of volleys are audible in many districts. "This notwithstanding, all utilities companies continue working as usual," the city council said.
