Russia officials say Ukraine hit Donetsk university with cluster shells

Flames engulfed a university building’s wooden roof in Donetsk following Ukrainian shelling on Saturday, said an emergency official in the Russia-controlled city in eastern Ukraine.
Alexei Kulemzin, the Russia-installed mayor, said on Telegram, “As a result of the latest attack on Donetsk, the first building of the University of Economics and Trade is on fire.”
“We are using 12 water tanks, three ladders and 100 fire fighters,” said Alexei Kostrubitsky, the Russia-installed emergency minister for the region that Moscow calls the Donetsk People’s Republic.
“The whole roof is on fire.”
Kostrubitsky said Ukrainian forces used cluster munitions in the shelling that caused the blaze. Reuters could not independently verify the information. Both sides have used cluster munitions in the course of Russia’s 17-month invasion of Ukraine.
