Today is a 1-year anniversary of the Kramatorsk shelling by the\u00a0Russian ‘Smerch’ MRLS (Multiple Rocket Launcher System). Exactly one year ago, on February 10, 2015, Kramatorsk, which began to live a peaceful life after the exemption, was shelled\u00a0by the 32 rockets of\u00a0300mm caliber from the territory controlled by the united\u00a0Russian-separatist forces. Eighteen rockets fell in the ATO headquarters area<\/strong>, and fourteen in the residential areas of a town. Because of the incident, which has been qualified as a terrorist attack, seventeen people died and about sixty persons were injured with varying degrees of severity. This is one of the bloody war crimes that certainly must be considered during the military tribunal against the Russian Federation in future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As reported on the Kramatorsk web-site<\/a> (RU) the first official statement from the Ukrainian military forces was made\u00a01,5 hours after this incident. According to the information from military forces, Kramatorsk was\u00a0attacked from the Horlivka side. Hour and a half later Petro Poroshenko, the President of Ukraine, commented shelling of the Kramatorsk.

The InformNapalm volunteers translated the material of this investigation into\u00a0the German, Czech, Polish and other languages.<\/p>\n

More than 2 weeks before the tragedy, the InformNapalm volunteers informed<\/strong><\/a> (RU) that on January 22, in daytime, the Russian \u2018Smerch\u2019 multiple rocket launcher system of\u00a0300mm caliber was spotted in the Makiivka town up the\u00a0Danilov street. The \u2018Smerch\u2019 MLRS was moving without any escort in the direction of the Zelenyi [Green] micro district. A crew consists of three persons, and it takes 3 min arm this complex. The destruction range is from 20 up to 120 km.<\/p>\n
