The child’s condition is reported as serious,” the prosecutor’s office stated.

Additionally, a 45-year-old man was injured when another bomb hit his home in a single-family housing area, the report added.

New York or Niu-York (Ukrainian: Нью-Йорк) is a rural settlement in Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine. The origin of the town’s name remains a mystery that is the subject of many local legends.

New York first appeared on maps in 1846. The first official mention of the name of New York (Нью-Йорк) dates back to 1859 as one of the results of the census of the Yekaterinoslav Governorate, then part of the Russian Empire. The 1859 census confirmed that the locality then had 13 households, 45 men, 40 women, and a factory. From 1951 to 2021, the settlement was named Novhorodske (Ukrainian: Новгородське).
