At least three people have been killed and 20 injured in a rocket attack on a residential building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk. This is reported by the Ukrainian authorities.
“Another terrorist attack by the criminals and terrorists from Russia,” Andrij Jermak, head of the presidential administration, reported on Telegram on Wednesday evening. He posted a photo of an apartment building in ruins.
Donetsk police said three people were killed and 20 others injured. “At least eight residential buildings were damaged, one of which was completely destroyed. There may still be people under the rubble. More than 100 officers have been deployed to the scene of the attack.
“Russian Missile”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is convinced that it was a Russian missile. “The only way to stop Russian terrorism is to defeat it,” he wrote on Twitter. “With tanks. Fighter jets. Long-range missiles.”
Moscow has not confirmed that the stricken building was hit by a Russian missile. Kiev has repeatedly accused Moscow of indiscriminate targeting of civilian infrastructure since the beginning of the invasion, an accusation that Moscow consistently rejects. At least 44 people were killed last month when a Russian missile hit an apartment building in the eastern city of Dnipro.
The Russian troops are trying to take control of the city of Kramatorsk and the entire Donetsk region.
