“The enemy struck the village of Novoiakovlivka in the Zaporizhzhia district twice, reportedly using FAB aerial bombs. A 15-year-old boy was killed. His 12-year-old brother, 8-year-old sister, and their parents – a 40-year-old father and 36-year-old mother – were injured,” the statement said.
Two other men, aged 41 and 51, were also wounded.
All the injured are receiving necessary medical care.
The family’s home was destroyed, and nearby houses were badly damaged.
