The Russians dropped two bombs and launched a missile on New York in Donetsk Region, hitting a three-storey building, killing five people and injuring three others, the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin, has said.
"Three people are wounded, five more are under the rubble - these are the early consequences of the strike on New York. The Russians dropped two guided bombs on the village and hit a 3-storey building with a missile - the entrance to the building collapsed, people are under the rubble," he said.
Rescuers and police are working at the scene to clear the rubble.
"This is yet another cynical attack by the Russians against the civilian population. Its exact consequences will be known later," he added.
