At around 5:35 p.m., the Russians attacked the town with a guided bomb. The strike caused a private house to catch fire and damaged 11 more homes.

“Six people were injured: women aged 47, 77, 51, 80 and 66, and a 39-year-old man. All are receiving high-quality medical care,” Syniehubov said.

Emergency services and medics are working at the scene.
