SINGLE SOURCE

While one web search result mentions attacks in Gorlovka and Donetsk, it also lists Krasnoarmeysk and Dokuchayevsk, and does not explicitly list Yenakiyevo in the same context as the four attacks, although Yenakiyevo is mentioned in other separate reports. No second independent source corroborates this specific set of directions for these specific attacks.
