Rocket shelling of the Malin station on May 22/Collage of Channel 24
On May 22, the Russians shelled Malin in the Zhytomyr region. Enemy missiles hit the railway station. Subsequently, it became known how many died as a result of this attack.
The head of the Zhytomyr Regional Military Administration, Vitaliy Bunechko, described in more detail the consequences of the shelling of Malin. This is reported by Channel 24 with reference to its inclusion on the air of the national telethon.
Railway workers were injured after the shelling
The official confirmed that he was fired upon by cruise missiles of the Russian army in Malin. Their exact number is unknown. “Arrival” recorded approximately at 13:40.
Unfortunately, today we can really talk about one dead person. We can also talk about wounded people. Some of them are railway workers.
He added that for three weeks there were no attempts to attack the cities of the region. The restoration of damaged settlements in the north of the region has begun. “On Friday and today, the Malin railway station suffered from occupation shelling.”
Is there any panic in the city
The head of the UVA was asked if the repeated attack on the station in Malin provoked panic among the city's residents. He noted that in April only 30% of the inhabitants remained in the city. Subsequently, people began to return.
After the rockets arrived at the railway, there were still those who decided to leave. According to Bunechko, it was a family that lived not far from the Malin station that had been shelled. However, such cases are rare.
I can't talk about a mass exodus. There is no such thing,” the official reassured.
He also added that after the first attack on Malin on Friday, May 20, a total of 130 residential buildings were damaged. Five of them are now uninhabitable, the rest have just begun to be restored.
The fact is that the Russians hit the same place where they attacked on May 20th. They have just begun to restore broken windows and other damage to 130 houses. However, after the shelling, 5 houses are now completely uninhabitable.
What was known before
Our air defense defenders reported shortly after the shelling that they were able to shoot down 4 of the fired missiles. However, still some flew to the station. Then the head of the UVA said that there could be more than one victim, because the rubble was still cleared during the day.
What was the preliminary attack
On May 20, Russian troops fired 3 rockets along the Malin railway. This happened about 20 minutes after the announcement of the air raid alert. 3 people were injured that day.
