“Currently, 20 people are known to have been killed as a result of a rocket attack on the city, including three children. 90 people have sought help from medical institutions,” Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko posted on Telegram.
According to a Ukrainian official, the midday attack on the city hundreds of kilometres from the frontlines and invading Russian troops came as EU officials convened in The Hague to discuss war crimes in Ukraine.
“At least 17 people have died, including two children. Dozens are injured. Residential buildings, and administrative and commercial buildings have suffered significant destruction and damage,” AFP quoted Ukraine’s prosecutor general as saying in a statement.
“Every day, Russia kills civilians, kills Ukrainian children, carries out missile attacks on the civilian facilities where there is no military target. What is this, if not an open act of terrorism?” the Ukraine leader said on social media.
