Three people were killed and seven injured by the militants' artillery attacks on Debaltseve and the Yasynuvata district of the Donetsk region in the past 24 hours.

"Three workers of a contact wire service company aged 21, 33 and 58, were killed near the Skotovata station yesterday. Another two, a 21-year-old resident of Kostiantynivka and a 43-year-old resident of Dzerzhynsk, were hospitalized with shrapnel wounds to their heads," the Ukrainian Interior Ministry's department in the Donetsk region said in a report on Tuesday.

The shelling of Dzerzhynsk damaged and cut off power supply to the administrative building of the Severna mine. Sixty-three miners were urgently brought up to the ground. No one was hurt. The mine resumed working as normal.
