The Donbas militants used artillery to shell the town of Dzerzhynsk in Donetsk region in the early hours of Saturday, chief of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry department for Donetsk region Viacheslav Abroskin said.
"Two men, one born in 1977 and the other in 1978, and a woman born in 1932 sustained injuries of varying degrees as rounds hit a residential neighborhood," Abroskin said on Facebook on Saturday morning.
The town has been partially cut off from power supply, which affected three coalmines, Abroskin said. "As many as 216 people were trapped underground. The evacuation of the remaining 122 miners to the surface, including 53 in the Toretska mine and 69 in the Northern mine, is continuing," he said.
Later, head of the Independent Trade Union of Coal Mine Workers Mykhailo Volynets said that all the pitmen were safely brought to the surface.
Militants also shelled Avdiyivka at about 4:00 a.m., causing no casualties, he said.
