President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has proclaim January 15 the Day of Mourning for the civilians killed at the checkpoint near Volnovakha by terrorists on January 13 (Presidential Decree http://www.president.gov.ua/documents/18712.html )
As a result of the artillery shelling of a Ukrainian checkpoint near the settlement of Bugas by the pro-Russian terrorists in the Donetsk region on January 13, one of the shells hit a bus.
11 civilians have been killed, 17 have been injured. We express our sincere condolences to the families and friends of our compatriots who lost their lives and hope for a speedy recovery of those wounded.
The shelling was carried out from the town of Dokuchayevsk which is under control of the illegal armed groups. All facts point out that this horrible tragedy was not a coincidence. There are no positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near the checkpoint. Thus, the terrorists fired at the civilians intentionally.
