Ukrainian officials said at least 14 civilians were killed and 43 others were injured after Russia struck a supermarket in the town of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk on Friday.
Vadym Filashkin, Ukraine's governor of Donetsk, said that the town was hit by Russian artillery earlier in the day before being hit by a Russian Kh-38 missile.
This is yet another terror attack and war crime perpetrated on Ukraine by Russia. Russia will be held accountable for these actions, while Ukraine will not rest in pursuit of its goal to regain its sovereign territory.
Russia has repeatedly said that it does not target civilians. All strikes are directed at military targets, including military warehouses, fuel depots, and training facilities.
