Russian invaders hit residential buildings in the city of Myrnohrad, Donetsk region, with rockets. Six people, including children, were injured in the attack, according to the Prosecutor General's Office.

After midnight on January 26, the Russians fired two missiles at Myrnohrad. The residential sector was at the epicenter of the explosions.

As a result of the enemy attack, six residents were wounded - three men aged 25, 40 and 49, a 37-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter. An 8-year-old girl was also wounded.

The Prosecutor's Office notes that all the victims were in their homes at the time of the shelling. Most of them sustained mine-blast injuries, cut wounds, and bruises.

As a result of Russia's terrorist attack, private and multi-apartment residential buildings and outbuildings were damaged.

It is not yet known what weapons the Russian occupiers used. Law enforcement officers opened a criminal case over the violation of the laws and customs of war (Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
