Ukrainian military shelling has hit a residential building in Vasylivka, according to the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Territorial Defense Headquarters on Wednesday, noting that some civilians are still under the wreckage.

The shelling resulted in the death of two civilians according to the DPR representative office in Joint Centre for Control and Coordination (JCCC).

The authority wrote on Telegram, "As a result of the shelling by Ukrainian military in Vasylivka ... Ukrainian ammunition hit a residential building ... people are under the rubble, at least two are without signs of life. Rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations are working at the scene of the shelling."

On Sunday, the Republic's Envoy to the JCCC reported that during the 25 days of warfare in the DPR, 26 people have been killed and 174 others were injured.

The mission's Telegram channel stated that twenty-six civilians have been killed in the 25 days of escalated hostilities by the Ukrainian armed forces, while 174 civilians have received various injuries, including 12 children.

It was projected that 1,077 residential structures and 300 civilian infrastructure assets had been destroyed. There were 1,053 attacks, according to the JCCC.

In less than a month, Ukrainian troops fired 13,204 shells at targets in the DPR. 15 ballistic missiles were launched by the Soviet-made Tochka-U and 542 rockets from BM-1 Grad multiple rocket launchers.

Three days ago, a Sputnik correspondent reported that Ukrainian troops fired from a tank and Grad MLRS at a hospital with patients during their retreat from the city of Volnovakha, eastern Ukraine, killing at least six people.

Before retreating from the area, the Ukrainian military used the hospital building and courtyard to fire at the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) troops from grenade launchers and tanks, using patients as human shields, including women in childbirth.

It is noteworthy that Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that the goal of the special military operation is to protect people who have been subjected to genocide by the Kiev regime for the past eight years.

On March 8, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that the status of the DPR and LPR, which he called "pseudo-republics", is only recognized by Russia and called for a discussion and compromise on "how these territories will live on."
