DONETSK, January 22. /TASS/. Authorities of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic detain from three to five saboteurs daily in the war-torn east Ukrainian city of Donetsk, leader of the Donetsk People’s Republic Alexander Zakharchenko said on Thursday.

“Every day we detain from three to five saboteurs,” the Donetsk news agency quoted the leader of the self-proclaimed republic, “As usual, they are aged from 18 to 35. Spotters who place tracking devices and merely saboteurs are among them.”

Several media reported earlier on Thursday that several saboteurs possibly involved in the Thursday’s shelling on a public transport stop in Leninsky district of the city which killed 13 were arrested in the city of Donetsk.

Zakharchenko refrained from any comments on this report.
