July 14 Kramatorsk school hit with multiple direct hits from Ukrainian mortars
Before this morning I had serious doubts about the possibility that Ukraine could be targeting its own innocent civilians. There was several hours of shelling, by Ukrainian army, in city of Kramatorsk, by Ukrainian army. At first light Christian B. Malaparte and I went out of the hotel and walked around the center, its not a big city so the center is rather small. The school in the center of the town had several direct mortar hits. At least four of the most central apartment buildings all had multiple direct hits, one of which had over five direct hits. I saw only one business that had more than just broken glass. The two separatist\DPR government buildings had no visible damage. By my rough estimate 80% of the mortars hit civilian homes or the school and 20% hit the ground away from structures. People where everywhere trying to put the peaces of there lives back together. A woman was screaming, in Russian, that ten mortars hit her building complex. As I walked around and documented what I could I plane flew over the city and started bombing. People began running everywhere.

Why did this happen?
