"Around 1050 IST a shell flew on the territory of Donetsk from Ukrainian territory. Two residential houses were damaged, one person died," Rostov regional authorities spokesman Alexander Titov told ITAR-TASS news agency.
Donetsk is a small Russian town just near the border with Ukraine's eastern Lugansk region, where Kiev-backed troops and pro-Russian separatists are fighting for the control of border checkpoints.
