One person was killed and at least four others wounded in a Ukrainian rocket strike on a restaurant in the Russian city of Donetsk on Saturday, investigators have said.

Similar figures were earlier provided by Yury Burdin, head of the Kirovsky District in the capital of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), where the Paradise restaurant is located. The building was almost completely destroyed in the explosion, Burdin told the local media.

The Ukrainian attack took place while the DPR was celebrating the tenth anniversary of the republic’s creation.
