DONETSK. April 20 (Interfax) – Four people were killed in hostilities in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) in the period of April 11-17, DPR Ombudsperson Darya Morozova said.

She posted her weekly socioeconomic report for the DPR on her website on Monday.

Morozova quoted official statistics from the DPR Health Ministry and forensic medicine authorities to say that the hostilities killed one civilian and three militiamen and, besides, seven civilians and five militiamen were hospitalized with injuries.

The DPR administration continues the search for bodies of Ukrainian servicemen, but the precise body count remains unknown, Morozova said. The never-ending bombardments are hindering the search, she added.
