The attack damaged administrative and industrial buildings, an outpatient clinic, residential buildings and cars.
In Shyroka Balka, a 35-year-old tractor driver came under fire while ploughing a field to stop the spread of the flames. One of the shells hit the tractor, and the driver was killed on the spot.
