      The Budenovskiy district of Donetsk city was shelled on Saturday, leaving at least one woman with serious injuries. A chemical plant was also heavily damaged in the bombardment.

      The area was hit by projectiles reportedly fired from BM-27 Uragan rocket launchers, which struck the electrical lines of a chemical plant where many cisterns of liquified gas are stored.

      The centre of Donetsk also saw shelling, Saturday, which left at least two dead. The twin shellings come on the eve of the Minsk-agreed ceasefire.
