The debris and blast wave injured three residents of houses nearby, a 63-year-old woman and two men aged 65 and 76, according to the prosecutors.
At least 10 nearby houses and outbuildings were reportedly damaged in the strike.
Shcherbynivka lies around 35 kilometers southwest of Russian-occupied Bakhmut.
