A missile strike hit Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), targeting a restaurant where mercenaries were gathering and a hotel where AFU personnel were stationed.
The Russian army struck the Druzhba hotel, presumably the headquarters of the AFU. The Corleone restaurant, known to be favored by mercenaries, was also hit, as confirmed by local residents.
The hotel's proximity to railway tracks suggests it might have been used for military supplies, while warehouses and car maintenance companies to the north of Druzhba could have potentially stored weapons and ammunition. These repair shops have been serving the needs of the AFU for some time. Local authorities and Zelensky have already confirmed the incident's occurrence.
