The attack hit Tekstilshchik, a suburb of the city of Donetsk, on Sunday. The Russian-installed authorities say the missile was launched by Ukraine. A further 10 people were injured, said Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian-installed authorities in Donetsk. He said that the shells had been fired by the Ukrainian military.
