Pokrovsk
Among the victims is a family with two children: a 16-year-old boy and a 6-month-old infant. Another 13-year-old boy was also injured. Preliminary reports indicate damage to an apartment building, nine private houses, a police department, vehicles, and garages.
"One of the shells exploded in the yard of a house where a family with two children lived. The shelling destroyed the roof and walls of the house, burying the family under the debris," he explained.
A police paramedic helped a man with a bleeding baby in his arms escape from under the rubble.
"After examining the boy, the police officer wrapped him up and quickly transported him to the hospital. The six-month-old Ilay is not in life-threatening condition anymore," added the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Novohradivka
Occupiers targeted a multi-story building here, injuring a 13-year-old child.
"Police and emergency services continue to work at the site of the missile strike. It is likely that five more people, including a child, may be under the rubble," Klymenko added.
Myrnohrad
Russians struck the city with two S-300 missiles, causing damage to the police department.
"Emergency services and police have been working at the strike sites all night. The search and rescue operation is ongoing, with police documenting the aftermath of the Russian strikes," summarized the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Shelling of the Donetsk region
