"The identity of a woman who was among five civilians and emergency workers
critically injured in a “double tap” missile strike that killed seven people in
the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk remains a mystery, the head of the
regional hospital has said.
Serhiy Ryzhenko, the director of the Mechnikov hospital in Dnipro, 115 miles
(185km) west of the struck city, said his surgeons had started working on the
wounded from 3am on Tuesday but that the lives of four of the five most serious
cases were still in the balance.
Of the five, two were said to be civilians, one was a police officer and two
were first responders. But the identity of the only woman in the group could
not be discerned as her personal belongings were said to have been shredded in
the blast.
The Iskander missiles that hit Pokrovsk had been launched 40 minutes apart,
known as a “double tap”, leading to death and injury among those who rushed to
the scene, near a hotel used by journalists, after the first strike."
