Russia blames Ukraine for killing 20 in Donetsk missile attack Meanwhile, the BBC reported on Monday (March 14th) that 20 civilians had been killed and nine wounded in a missile attack in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Russia's Defense Ministry has blamed Ukraine for the attack. Ukraine, however, has denied the allegations. However, the BBC could not independently verify Russia's claim. The Kremlin, meanwhile, told Reuters news agency that reports of a missile strike in Donetsk had been heard earlier in the day. Ukraine's leaders appear to have ordered the country's army to attack.
