Sector C<\/strong><\/p>\n Donetsk<\/strong><\/p>\n The shelling intensified closer to the evening. The militants used artillery of calibers larger than\u00a0100mm, as well as MLRS.<\/p>\n Around 23:22 Rossiya-24 TV channel claimed that Ukrainian army was shelling Donetsk. However, the residents reported\u00a0outgoing fire\u00a0from the city center and that it is done by the militants. This indicates the start of May provocations, with\u00a0active support by Russian news media.<\/p>\n At 23:30 a massive shelling of Marinka occurred, including\u00a0MLRS.<\/p>\n At 23:40 salvos of MLRS Grad were recorded from slag heaps of Makiivka metallurgical plant (so called Grygoriivski slag heaps, 48\u00b04\u201931\u2033N 37\u00b051\u201916\u2033E).<\/p>\n Militants\u2019 MLRS fired\u00a0from the ring road\u00a0and other places.<\/p>\n At 23:54 massive salvos of militants\u2019 self-propelled guns started from the area of Putilovska, Roshcha-Shcheglovske cemetery.<\/p>\n Chaotic weapons fire in different parts of the city also suggests that the picture required for\u00a0Russian media is being created. They hurriedly claimed that OSCE representatives were also in the area that was shelled.<\/p>\n Not only Ukrainian servicemen, but also civilians suffer from the shelling. So,\u00a0during the day, an\u00a0old woman was\u00a0killed by the explosion of an anti-tank guided missile fired\u00a0by the militants. She was working in her garden at that moment. For many retired people, who lack any financial support because of the occupation of their homeland\u00a0by militants, food from their own gardens is\u00a0the only way to\u00a0survive.<\/p>\n Sabotage-reconnaissance groups of combined\u00a0Russian-separatist forces (CRSF) became more active in the nighttime near Marinka, Spartak and Kurakhove.<\/p>\n The insiders connected to the militants warn about possible CRSF provocations. They report that\u00a0the terrorists plan to conduct a\u00a0prominent\u00a0attack\u00a0on May 7-9,\u00a0targeting\u00a0children as the potential\u00a0victims. According to this plan, the murderers\u00a0of the children will be among the captured Ukrainian servicemen. They will be \u201cliquidated on the spot,” and then the Russian media, just happening to be nearby, will be shown evidence of the captives’ connections to the “Kiev junta” found in their pockets. This act, like last year’s\u00a0“Yarosh business card<\/a>” hoax, should stoke the locals’ desire for revenge.<\/p>\n An UAV flight over Donetsk detected\u00a0tens of tanks and other weaponry, hidden by the militants inside apartment blocks\u00a0and near schools.\u00a0According to the video published by the Dnipro-1 battalion, one of the tank depots\u00a0is located in Budyonivskyi District of Donetsk, on Prokofyeva Street.<\/p>\n
