Thirteen people have been killed and others wounded in a series of explosions in the separatist-run city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
Alexei Kulemzin blamed "punitive" Ukrainian shellfire for the deaths. There is no comment from Ukrainian officials.
Local authorities said nine 150mm shells were fired at the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk, from a village to the west of the city.
Local leader Denis Pushilin accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting civilians at a bus-stop, a shop and a bank.
The Donetsk News Agency reported that two Ukrainian shells hit a bus stop and a store and more shells exploded elsewhere in the area. According to preliminary data, 13 people were killed, including two children. Another eight people sustained wounds of various severity.
