Situation in Konstantinovka: rebellion against Ukrainian occupants

Mass riot flared in Konstantinovka (50 km to the north of Donetsk, occupied by Ukrainian Armed Forces) as a result of an accident, in which two children and two women were overrun by a Ukrainian armoured vehicle on March 16. An eight-year-old girl died and a woman was injured. Later the woman (the killed girl’s aunt) died in a hospital.

The incident was a consequence of drunk driving. The inhabitants of the town threw stones at the bus with Ukrainian troopers and later set fire to the premises of School No 7, where the troops are stationed. Reinforcements are arriving to the town from Artemovsk.

The situation in Konstantinovka remains very tense. Residents overturn cars of the Ukrainian servicemen, break windows, burn doors of the quarters of Ukrainian army, and shout anti-junta slogans. According to reports, Ukrainian soldiers opened fire by using small arms. Furious residents are not going to give up.
