An artillery shell from Ukraine has hit a private house in the Rostov region of Russia, killing a citizen and leaving two more injured. The Russian Foreign Ministry promises heavy consequences.

Reportedly up to six mortar shells exploded on Sunday in the small Russian town of Donetsk, which has the same name as the Ukrainian city and is situated right on the Ukrainian border.

Ukraine’s charge d'affaires in Russia has been summoned to the Foreign Ministry where he was handed a note of protest in the strongest terms.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has called the shelling “an obviously aggressive act” on Ukraine’s part and warned it could have “irreversible consequences” with Kiev holding full responsibility for the provocation.

Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin promised a “rigorous and concrete answer” to the shelling of Russian territory that resulted in the senseless loss of life.

“Reuters did not witness what happened.”

Reuters didn’t actually witness men walking on the moon, either, but they did report it.

Did that not happen, in your mind, as well?

NASA is not a proven liar, while Russian controlled news organizations are, numerous times.

Does your "mind" not understand that?

“the shell could easily have been fired by Russians”

And it could just as easily have been fired by the martians, as well!

There has been heavy fighting in this area, for two weeks. The rebels control the checkpoints. It isn’t brain science or rocket surgery...
