Details: Bolvinov noted that the teenage girl was sleeping near a window during the attack. Her home is located near a long-closed service station that was targeted by the Russians.
"The teenage girl, 13, has lacerations to her hands and feet and small fragments in her right eye. The blast wave smashed the windows in her room and shattered glass. Medical workers are washing out small pieces of glass," Bolvinov said.
The girl's mother suffered bruises but was able to accompany her daughter to hospital. Two other women from neighbouring houses have reportedly been injured.
The Russians launched Shaheds on the city from the territory of Belgorod Oblast, Russia, at midnight. In addition to the service station, a civilian two-storey office building and warehouses have been severely damaged.
