The specific figures (1 dead, 10 wounded) are reported by TASS citing Denis Pushilin. Other search results report different casualty numbers for the Donetsk region on similar dates (e.g., 1 dead and 5 wounded, or 1 dead and 9 wounded), meaning the specific '1 and 10' count is not corroborated by independent sources.
