So, the Kalininsky district of the city at 9 o'clock in the morning was shelled from American-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems. The area was later re-attacked by HIMARS while rescuers were working there.

On the same day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired ten missiles from MLRS at the Kuibyshev district of Donetsk.
