Russia launches criminal proceedings into shelling of Russian investigators from Ukraine

Russia’s Investigative Committee on Saturday launched criminal proceedings into the shelling from Ukraine of a group of Russian investigators in the southern Russian Rostov Region near the “Donetsk” border-crossing point.

Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin told Itar-Tass that Russian investigators wearing special jackets with the inscription “Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation” came under fire on Friday.
Russian police officers, two servicemen and witnesses who were inspecting the terrain some 300-400 meters from Russia’s state border with Ukraine after a previous instance of such shelling also came under fire.
