Five children, with the youngest aged just three, are among the dead after a Russian attack on eastern Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin deployed S-300 missiles, killing 11 people and wounding another eight in the city of Pokrovsk, in the Donetsk region, the governor of the Ukrainian-controlled part confirmed.

Vadym Filashkin said: ‘As a result of this barbaric attack, 11 people died, including five children aged from three to 17 years.’

In a statement on Telegram, he addedthat the attack showed Russian forces were ‘trying to inflict as much grief as possible on our land’.

Footage shared by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine showed rescue teams sifting through piles of smouldering rubble in the dark.

The strike took place at about 3pm on Saturday, but efforts to find any survivors continued in the night amid the vast destruction.
