In one of the houses, according to the head of the Donetsk regional administration Pavel Kirilenko, two entrances completely collapsed. Dozens of people were under the rubble, they are being sorted out for the second day.

It was a missile attack. And everyone who gives orders for such strikes, everyone who makes them on our ordinary cities, on residential areas, kills quite deliberately. After such strikes, the killers will not be able to say that they didn’t know something or didn’t understand something,” President of Ukraine Vadymyr Zelensky said in a video message yesterday, promising that everyone who shells Ukrainian cities will be found.

At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation mentioned the strike on Chasov Yar only two days later, declaring the "destruction of nationalists."
