The explosion in Mykolaiv occurred at 5:14 p.m. As it turned out, the blow hit a residential area of the city.

In addition to three houses, a kindergarten was also destroyed by the rocket attack.

An hour after the attack, Vice Mayor Vitalii Lukov said in a comment to NikVesti that three victims were known at the place of arrival, including a child. The mother of the boy who died as a result of a rocket attack is in a state of shock. Psychologists work with her.
