In Pokrovsk, there are 16,000 residents, including 177 children

This was reported by the head of the Donetsk regional military administration, Vadym Filashkin, during the broadcast of the telethon "United News".

"Currently, there are still 16,000 people in the city of Pokrovsk, including 177 children. More than 30,000 people have left, and more than 3,500 children have left. I thank the people for taking care of themselves and their loved ones because the enemy is shelling the entire Donetsk region every day, including Pokrovsk, with all available types of weapons – guided aerial bombs, barrel artillery, and drones," the head of the region said.

He once again emphasized that people need to leave Pokrovsk as soon as possible.
