Quote: "Last night, there was an airstrike on the town of Niu-York in Bakhmut district, causing damage to five private residential and six apartment buildings, with an entrance collapsing in one of them. According to early reports, five people may be under the rubble."

Details: The Ministry of Internal Affairs added that three people were injured. They received pre-medical care and were taken to the hospital.

The surrounding area is constantly under Russian attacks, which makes it impossible for special equipment to enter the scene. Work will continue after the situation is stabilised.

One of the bombs hit the yard between multi-storey buildings and did not explode. Law enforcement officers evacuated all residents from the surrounding area to a safe place.

In total, five private and six apartment buildings were damaged as a result of the attack.
