ROSTOV-ON-DON, August 10, /ITAR-TASS/. About 15 Ukrainian shells exploded in Russia’s southern Rostov region some 500 metres of the border with Ukraine, Rostov region border chief Vasily Malayev told Itar-Tass on Sunday.

“Russian border guards on Sunday registered about 15 shell explosions near the village of Mityakinskaya. The shells flew from Ukraine and dropped some 300 metres of a populated locality,” he said, adding that luckily no one had been hurt.

A larger part of Donetsk’s Tekstilshchiki dwelling quarters has been left without electricity supplies as a result of artillery shelling, the official website of the Donetsk mayor said on Sunday.
