‘Private sector residential buildings, a hotel, catering establishments, shops and administrative buildings,’ damaged in late night strikes, says Donetsk region head
Reuters has spoken to Pokrovsk residents about last night’s attack.
Kateryna, a 58-year-old resident of Pokrovsk, was at home when she heard the first blast but then the building was hit a second time.
“That’s it, bang , and that’s all. A flame filled up my eyes. I fell down on the floor, on the ground. My eyes (hurt) a lot,” Kateryna told Reuters in an interview. Her head was bandaged.
Another resident, 75-year-old Lidia, said she was also on the phone at the moment of the second blast. She had picked up from the floor a torn white curtain covered with broken glass.
“Suddenly this flew out and wrapped me up. Then the window fell on me,” she said sitting on her sofa.
“My back has cuts. I just got back from the hospital. My knee and my thigh have cuts. I had glass here,” she said pointing at her head.
