Strike of the Russian army in the Pokrovsky district

On the evening of January 6, RMA reported that 11 people had died, including five children.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also reported the death of "more than ten people."
Zelenskyy noted that the Russians' attack was just on ordinary residential buildings, on private houses. But he said that all the wounded are currently receiving the necessary assistance.
Russia must feel — always feel — that none of these strikes will pass without consequences for the terrorist state. We have to ensure this with our strength, our own defense and political capabilities, the head of state emphasised.
