In the morning of January 24 the Eastern outskirts of Mariupol were attacked near the UAF checkpoint, writes Internet news resource Donetsk Republic News. But junta fighters were not injured, because according to local residents, they left the fortification a few hours before the strike.

"In a huge number of homes there is broken glass, the situation is very serious. There is no water and electricity, it was disabled half an hour or an hour before the fire, I have not noticed the time. They have been preparing for this situation, knew about it," - said a resident of Mariupol. He stressed that the situation is similar to a false flag.

"They wanted to create a huge reaction to set the population against our militia. We thought at first that it was a mistake, but then I realized that it was intentional. Past our windows was driving a new rotation of these banderites... They immediately turned around and pulled back", - says a local resident, reports Lifenews.

Comment: Local residents are reporting that the Grad volley was fired from the north and/or west, NOT the east/northeast, as the OSCE concluded after a hasty 'investigation'. Other sources are saying there were actually 3 strikes, from different directions. If that's the case, the NAF could not be responsible.

Here's South Front's latest update on the situation:

President Poroshenko had to rush back from the event in Saudia Arabia connected with the funeral of King Abdullah Al Saud because of the shelling in Mariupol. That is a bit strange, because he has never been much concerned that his own army shelled civilian targets in Donetsk and more recently mercilessly and for days on end in the town of Gorlovka where dozens of people have been killed, many more wounded and several residential areas have suffered serious damages. And what happens next? Now as a result of the shelling in Mariupol blamed on the militia, the EU is asking for more sanctions against Russia [Link] How is that for coincidence?

I don't know what you think, but I feel the lack of humanity the EU has previously displayed in regard to areas like the former Yugoslavia, Iraque, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Palestine has moved right next door and many Europeans refuse to admit it. Nevertheless, it may be understandable considering that "France Je suis hypocrite?" [Link] and "As Islamophobia Rises Moral Values Decrease" [Link]
