Ukraine: These Donbass miners are furious as shells hit as they leave work

Miners from the Zasyadko mine took cover at in Donetsk Thursday after the mine they worked at was subject to shelling. An unknown number of miners were injured as shelling hit the mine, where a crew of 103 miners were coming off their working shift. Resulting injuries were caused mainly by smashed glass. In order to avoid the shelling, the miners fled to another shaft of the mine, only for shelling to begin hitting near that part of the facility.

Describing his experience, one miner said that he and his colleagues ran to the basement for cover, but then the windows shattered, hurting their feet. His colleague stated that he is not a terrorist, but a hard worker who continued to work hard while others "were standing on Maidan." Reflecting on the outcomes of Maidan the miner expressed a belief that the protest left the same oligarchs in power, requiring "Donbass to continue what Maidan started."

The Ukrainian army continue to shell the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, with 11 people reportedly killed Thursday. Over 2,000 people have been killed since the conflict began in April.
