Claim 1: “two attacks were carried out in the direction of Donetsk and one in the direction of Gorlovka”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific distribution of attacks (two toward Donetsk and one toward Gorlovka) is reported by TASS and one other snippet, but since TASS is a state-affiliated agency and the other snippet appears to be from the same report/statement, it does not meet the threshold for 'corroborated' by independent organizations.
