Although the first reports of the bus explosion near Artemovsk described the incident as the result of tripping on a land mine, Ukrainian officials predictably – and stupidly – started lying in several hours time!
Deputy Minister of the Interior of Ukraine in the Donetsk Region Ilya Kiva said that the passenger bus had been shelled by separatists from mortar-gun:
“At once after the incident illegal armed formations of the DPR opened mortar-gun fire on the bus with passengers – the dwellers of Artemovsk of the Donetsk Region”, – Kiva wrote on his Facebook page in the night of Thrursday March 26.
According to him mortar-gun fire hindered the cars of Ukrainian emergency service to provide aid ti the victims of the accident.
“As a result of the explosion and shelling 4 persons died and 19 civilians were wounded”, – Kiva said.
