"11 dead, including 5 children - these are preliminary results of strikes on the Pokrovsk district," the region’s head wrote.

He clarified that the Russian invaders hit the area with S-300 missiles.

"Pokrovsk and Rivne of the Myrnohrad community were struck the most. The enemy cynically hits civilians, trying to bring as much grief to our land as possible. They will be punished for everything!" stressed Filashkin.
