KYIV, Ukraine —
A kindergarten in eastern Ukraine was one of the civilian structures hit by artillery
from Russian-backed separatists Thursday
Three adult employees suffered concussions, the military said in a statement
posted to social media, but it appeared children were unharmed.
They were in a different room, according to local media reports.
Meanwhile, pro-Russian separatists accused Ukrainian government troops
of opening fire on its territory, which Ukraine’s Armed Forces denied.
Ukrainian soldiers are under instruction not to return fire.
A howitzer shell blew a hole through one wall, sending bricks, toys and soccer balls
scattered across. One impact crater landed near a play area. In all, 32 artillery rounds
landed in the village, the statement said, which disrupted electricity for half of the
population.
