Since the military operation in Donbas started, one person has been killed and nine injured as a result of Ukrainian shelling of Russian territory, Rostov’s regional government reported Wednesday.

MOSCOW, July 30 (RIA Novosti) - Since the military operation in Donbas started, one person has been killed and nine injured as a result of Ukrainian shelling of Russian territory, Rostov’s regional government reported Wednesday.

“During the military operation in southeastern Ukraine, 16 cases of shelling of Rostov Region have been registered, as a result of which one person has died and 9 have been injured,” the region’s government confirmed.

Apartment buildings in Donetsk and Gukovo, farms in Primiussky and Vasetsky, and administrative buildings in Gukovo, Novoshakhtinsk and Donetsk have been damaged.

Each day several thousand Ukrainians cross the Russian-Ukrainian border to Russia's Rostov Region amid the ongoing military actions between Kiev government troops and independence forces.

The total number of refugees accommodated in Rostov Region since the Ukrainian conflict began, exceeds 40,000.

Since June, 208 Ukrainian citizens have been hospitalized in the Russian region, including servicemen.

Earlier this month, Moscow invited the OSCE to assess the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border, which has been hit multiple times by Ukrainian artillery.

On July 13, shells exploded in the Russian city of Donetsk in Rostov Region, killing one civilian and injuring two more.

The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the shelling of Russian territory, urged Kiev to stop the attacks and warned that such provocations might have irreversible consequences.
