11 people killed by rockets in Ukraine-Russian war including children – Officials

A Russian missile attack in eastern Ukraine killed 11 people, including five children, according to a local official.

The governor of Donetsk region said that S-300 missiles hit the town of Pokrovsk, which is in Ukrainian-controlled territory.

“The enemy is cruelly attacking innocent people, trying to cause as much suffering as they can,” Governor Vadim Filashkin wrote on Telegram.

In a video, President Zelensky said Russia’s troops attacked homes in the evening.

Mr Zelensky said Russia should suffer consequences for their attacks.

Russia has not said anything yet.

Pokrovsk is 70 kilometers (43 miles) away from Donetsk city, where Russian forces are in control.

Before the war, there were about 60,000 people living there. Despite being warned about the dangers, some people have been coming back to their homes.

In August, nine people died and many others were hurt in a Russian missile attack on the town.

Earlier this week, Ukraine sent over 70 flying robots into Russia after Russia started a big attack from the air. This caused people to leave their homes in the southwest city of Belgorod.
