Details: The Russians simultaneously launched six S-300 missiles on Pokrovsk District in Donetsk Oblast at night. The settlements of Pokrovsk, Novohrodivka, and Myrnohrad came under fire.

As a result of the attack, 10 people were injured, including four children. Five more people are being searched for under the rubble. Police paramedics rescued the baby.

A family with two children, a 16-year-old boy and a 6-month-old baby, in Pokrovsk, suffered from the attack. Another 13-year-old boy was injured. Early reports indicate that an apartment building, nine private buildings, a police station, cars, and garages were damaged.

One of the shells exploded in the yard of a house where a family with two children lived. As a result of the shelling, the roof and walls of the house were destroyed, and the entire family was buried under the rubble.

A police paramedic helped a man with a bloodied baby in his arms get out from under the ruins. After examining the boy, the policeman wrapped him up and quickly took him to hospital. Six-month-old Ilia’s life is beyond danger now.
