Additional information:

Two foreign journalists, British freelance photographer Anastasia Taylor-Lind and Latin American journalist Catalina Gómez, were wounded in Kramatorsk in the Donetsk Region during Russian shelling on June 27. Anastasia Taylor-Lind told The New York Times that she was having lunch at a cafe in the city centre. It was quite crowded at 7:30 PM and the cafe was scheduled to close in about half an hour. She subsequently heard a «rumble» and realised it was a rocket. This was followed by an explosion. She and her colleague went to the basement fearing another attack, both were covered in blood. The cafe staff helped them clean up, she said.
