The Ukrainian military struck the city of Donetsk with a US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launcher on Friday, killing at least four civilians and injuring four more, according to the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin. The rockets were equipped with shrapnel munitions, he added.

Two women and two men died in the strike, Pushilin said. Another woman was severely injured and three others sustained moderate injuries, he added.

The victims were driving down a local road, RT’s Viktor Miroshnik reported from the scene. RT also obtained footage showing the immediate aftermath of the strike. The video shows a road littered with debris and missile fragments, with several damaged buildings, fences and trees nearby.
