The identity of a woman who was among five civilians and emergency workers critically injured in a “double tap” missile strike that killed seven people in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk remains a mystery, the head of the regional hospital has said.
Serhiy Ryzhenko, the director of the Mechnikov hospital in Dnipro, 115 miles (185km) west of the struck city, said his surgeons had started working on the wounded from 3am on Tuesday but that the lives of four of the five most serious cases were still in the balance.
The Iskander missiles that hit Pokrovsk had been launched 40 minutes apart, known as a “double tap”, leading to death and injury among those who rushed to the scene, near a hotel used by journalists, after the first strike.
“We are resuming the demolition of rubble,” Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of the Donetsk region’s military administration, said on Tuesday morning after rescuers “were forced to suspend work for the night due to the high threat of repeated shelling”.
The Druzhba hotel and the Corleone pizzeria, which were damaged in the strikes, were popular among journalists, correspondents from the BBC, Financial Times, Globe and Mail and Channel 4 News noted.
Later on Tuesday, the SBU said it had exposed a spy network of four local women in Pokrovsk allegedly providing Russia and the Wagner group with intelligence about the number of Ukrainian troops in the Donetsk region and the flight paths of military aircraft.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
