Syniehubov Quote: "Russian forces launched a missile strike (early report indicates it was an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system) on the settlement of Pechenihy in Chuhuiv District at around 00:15 last night. There were strikes on the territory of the "dacha" village [the area full of dachas – summer houses usually with a little plot of land where people grow vegetables, fruit trees and berries, or keep a garden – ed.]. Two houses were damaged, and fires broke out.".
Update: Later, the prosecutor's office clarified that the attack on the village of Pechenihy was carried out with the Tornado-S multiple-launch rocket system.
Investigators recorded strikes delivered on civilian targets. Amongst the infrastructure damaged were the territory of a dacha community and residential buildings where civilians live. [A dacha is a sort of a summer house, usually with a little plot of land where people grow vegetables, fruit trees and berries, or keep a garden; a cooperative dacha community is an association of persons, each of whom has a dacha plot within the same territory – ed.]
