At least five artillery shells hit a morgue in the city of Donetsk in rebel-held eastern Ukraine, Russian media said Sunday.
Both RIA Novosti and LifeNews reported the shelling on Sunday, though neither reported any damage to the dead bodies.
RIA Novosti said nobody was injured, and the damage was limited to several broken windows.
The incident could not be independently verified.
Donetsk is the main stronghold of the embattled pro-Russian insurgency battling the Ukrainian governmental forces.
The government in Kiev recently said that its forces had circled the city entirely, which had a population of 1 million before the war.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
