A Russian missile fell today on a market in the town of Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region in Ukraine, causing many casualties.
According to preliminary information, the rocket fell in an area populated by civilians near some shops, causing at least 16 victims, including a child.
The images posted on social networks are shocking and show the moment of the explosion filmed by the cameras of the businesses.
Regarding the attack, the President of Ukraine Volodomyr Zelensky also reacted.
"At least 16 people have been killed by Russian bombing in Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region. Russian terrorists have attacked a market, shops and a pharmacy, killing innocent people. The number of victims may rise further.
Anyone in the world who still deals with anything Russian is simply ignoring this reality. Terribly bad. Brazen mischief. Complete inhumanity.
My condolences to all who have lost a loved one. The Russian evil must be defeated as soon as possible", writes Zelensky.
