The Ukrainian government harshly criticized Russia for the attacks in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine, in which two Russian missiles hit an apartment complex one after another, killing nine people, saying that the damage was magnified by the second missile fired into a place where rescue teams were gathering after the first missile attack.
In Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, two Russian missiles were fired one after another into a five-story apartment building on the 7th, killing 5 people and injuring 2 others according to the Ukrainian side.
