Quote: "During these hours in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, and in the Pokrovsk district, a rescue operation is underway after a Russian missile strike, specifically S-300 missiles. The necessary rescue forces and equipment from Ukraine's State Emergency Service are engaged in the relief operation, clearing debris. So far, we know of over ten people, unfortunately including children, who have tragically lost their lives. My condolences go out to everyone who has lost their loved ones!
The Russian strike targeted ordinary residential buildings and private houses. All the wounded are receiving the help they need.
Russia must feel – must always feel – that no such strike will go without consequences for the terrorist state. We must ensure this with our strength, our own defence, and political capabilities."
Background: A total of 11 people, including five children, were killed and eight others were injured as a result of Russian strikes in the Pokrovsk district, Donetsk Oblast, on 6 January.
