Quote: "The enemy is targeting Zakarpattia with high-explosive fragmentation rockets. These are designed to destroy not only objects, but first and foremost people.
The same shrapnel splinters have also damaged houses up to 300 metres away from where the rocket hit."
Details: Viktor Mykyta published photos in Telegram which "clearly show how rounded elements formed after the rocket exploded and literally cut through the metal."
Background: On Tuesday evening, Russia launched a missile strike on a substation near the train station in Volovets, in the Zakarpattia (Trans-Carpathian) region. 57 houses in Volovets were left without gas supply as a result of the missile strike. This was the first missile attack in the Zakarpattia region since the beginning of the war.
On Tuesday (3 May), an electrical substation, damaged by a Russian missile in the village of Volovetsin the Zakarpattia region, was repaired and restarted, and the gas supply has also been restored.
