Powering Arduino pro mini

Can the pro mini handle 12v on the RAW pin?
It is connected to a relay and a capacitive solid moisture sensor.

The Vin (RAW) is the input voltage pin, which is applied while using the external power source. The input voltage can be from from 5V to 12V.

Hello, I just tried to connect 9.6V 1100mAh to Arduino Mini Pro on RAW and GND, nothing else connected on the board. After a moment the built-in led started to blink, then it just switched off and won't turn on anymore. I noticed the programming side of the board was EXTREMELY hot. Now everytime I connect to 5V, it starts burning, and I can't upload sketch anymore too. I dont understand what I did wrong...
