Donetsk, Feb 27 - DAN. The school in the Komarovo settlement in north-western Gorlovka was damaged in shelling by Ukrainian forces, town administration head Ivan Prikhodko said on Thursday.

“Komarovo outskirts came under heavy weapons and small arms fire. A shell fragment hit school No 10. Be careful,” Prikhodko said.

He told the Donetsk News Agency that the school was in use. No report on casualties or damage were immediately available.
