The ex-Director General of Russian space agency Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, has been hospitalized after an attack on a hotel in occupied Donetsk, Russian propagandist media said on Dec. 22. These claims were later verified by social media users who posted pictures of the alleged aftermath of the attack on the hotel, where Rogozin had reportedly chosen to celebrate his birthday.

Two of Rogozin’s companions were killed in the attack, Russian media claims, while Donetsk puppet authority head Vitaliy Khotsenko was reportedly injured.

Russian propagandist media claimed that the hotel was shelled by a Ukrainian-operated French 155mm Caesar self-propelled howitzer.
