This, she noted, is mostly private housing – one- and two-story manor-type houses.

“Preliminarily, a residential building and an outbuilding were destroyed as a result of the shelling – they took the main blow. Nearby houses suffered significant damage: in some cases, the roofs were completely opened, windows were broken, and the walls suffered damage of varying degrees,” Yamshchykova informed.
