Less than half an hour after the first attack, the Russians attacked the village of Shakhove in the Pokrovsk district. A Russian projectile hit a school where a guard, a 48-year-old woman, was present at the time. She was diagnosed with haematomas.

At the same time, the Russians struck the town of Novohrodivka twice. A woman, 38, and a man, 77, were taken to a medical facility with concussions, shrapnel wounds and blast injuries.

At least 64 private households, five cars, four administrative buildings, a medical facility, and four two-storey residential buildings were reportedly damaged in the city. Almost 4000 power consumers were left without electricity.

The Russians attacked these settlements, supposedly using S-300 missiles, KAB-250 guided bombs and Smerch (Tornado) multiple-launch rocket systems.
