Double missile strike in Ukraine’s Pokrovsk follows Russian ‘pattern’

Two missiles launched 40 minutes apart hit the city centre of Pokrovsk on Monday evening, following what has become an established Russian pattern of attack in Ukraine. “There’s a first strike then Russian forces are waiting for rescue workers to arrive onsite,” said FRANCE 24’s Emmanuelle Chaze reporting from Kyiv. “Then there’s a second strike which causes even more damage and also usually kills a lot of rescuers.”
