“The Ukrainian armed forces carried out 14 shelling attacks on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) in the past 24 hours”
DISPUTED
Different sources report different numbers of shelling attacks within a 24-hour period in the DPR. One source mentions 21 times, another mentions 11 times, and the TASS report (implied by the claim 2 evidence) mentions 14 times. Because these specific figures contradict each other for the same general event/timeframe, the claim is disputed.

“killing two civilians and wounding four”
DISPUTED
There is a contradiction in casualty numbers. One source reports 'two killed and injuring 21 other civilians', while the claim specifies 'killing two civilians and wounding four'. While the death toll (2) is consistent, the number of wounded varies significantly between sources.

“Seven residential buildings, a number of cars and special vehicles, and four civilian infrastructure sites were damaged as a result of these attacks.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific detail regarding 'seven residential buildings, a number of cars and special vehicles, and four civilian infrastructure sites' is found exactly in the TASS report. However, another web search result reports different numbers (21 residential buildings, four cars, and three infrastructure facilities), meaning the specific figures in the claim are not corroborated by a second independent source and are actually contradicted by another report.
