The strike injured at least five civilians, including an 11-year-old boy. The other victims include three women aged 36, 38, and 62, and a 56-year-old man. The blast ignited a massive fire covering 1,300 square meters, which crews from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (DSNS) managed to extinguish by late evening.
