A rocket-propelled grenade fired by the Ukrainian army has hit a truck carrying wounded self-defense fighters near the Donetsk airport, killing a driver, People's Republic of Donetsk (DNR) source told RIA Novosti. <br /> <br />"Only the driver was killed in the shelling. A few wounded were taken to the hospitals of Donetsk. But we don't know if they received fresh wounds in the attack," the representative of the DNR said. <br /> <br />There are conflicting reports on the number of casualties from the latest attack. Earlier people's governor of Donestk Region, Pavel Gubarev, said in a post on Facebook that 35 people were killed and 15 were wounded in the strike. The truck carrying the wounded was marked as an ambulance, he added. <br /> <br />According to Itar-Tass citing a correspondent of St. Petersburg's Fifth Channel, at least 24 people were killed. <br /> <br />It is hard to verify these reports but local medical authorities do confirm that many people with gunshot wounds are being taken to the city's hospital, RT's Maria Finoshina says. <br /> <br />The fighting in Donetsk is continuing around the airport and the railway station, Interfax cited the self-defense force as saying.
