On January 13, 2015 Russia-backed terrorists shelled with Grad rocket a Ukrainian checkpoint near the town of Volnovakha in Donetsk region, once again brutally violating the cease-fire agreements.  One of the shells hit a passenger bus driving nearby, in the result of which 13 civilians have been killed and 16 wounded.

In connection with the tragic murder of civilians January 15, 2015 has been declared national mourning day in Ukraine.
