Donbas militants mounted an attack on Ukrainian positions near the village of Zaitseve close to the occupied town of Horlivka, Donetsk region, in the Anti-Terrorist Operation zone in the early hours of Monday, using 120mm and 150mm weapons, military journalist Roman Bochkala, who is now in the ATO zone, has reported.

"The General Staff has confirmed. There was a direct hit of the position of the 53rd brigade between the village of Zaitseve and Mayorsk at 03.00 in the morning today. Our casualties are four killed in action and three wounded in action," Bochkala wrote on Facebook.

Yes it is.

Shouldn't that be corrected, as citing the actual correct source is a requirement in Late Breaking News?

Hey GET THIS:

Interfax-Ukraine

The Interfax-Ukraine News Agency (Ukrainian: Інтерфакс-Україна is a Kiev[1]-based Ukrainian news agency founded in 1992,[2] the company belongs to the Russian news group Interfax Information Services.[3] The company publishes in Ukrainian, Russian and English.[3]

The company owns a 50-seat press centre.[4]

LOL Does the Russian News Group Interfax REALLY still own Interfax-Ukraine? LOL

If it does KUDOS to them for reporting Ukrainian government casualties like this.

I wonder though, do they also report rebel casualties?
