Civilian infrastructure was targeted in the attack, including at least 10 houses and four shops, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said on Monday."
"Two men and three women were killed and four of the injured were taken to hospital in a serious condition. Regional prosecutors said Russian forces appeared to have used an Iskander-type ballistic missile."
