Dmitry Rogozin Injured in Donetsk Shelling

The head of the "Tsarskiye Volki" military advisory group, Dmitry Rogozin, has been injured and hospitalized due to shelling by Ukrainian armed forces in Donetsk, his assistant reported to TASS on Thursday.

"A hotel where a group of military advisors, led by Dmitry Rogozin, had been staying for the past months was shelled in the outskirts of Donetsk. Dmitry Olegovich was injured in the back. He has been hospitalized. His life is not in danger," the source said.

Several individuals accompanying him were also injured.

"The strike was clearly targeted. Experts believe that a 155 mm caliber Caesar self-propelled artillery system, developed and manufactured by the French company Nexter, was used in the attack," Rogozin's assistant added.
