Kiev’s claim about Russia’s attack on a supermarket in eastern Ukraine
According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News Agency According to Reuters, the Ukrainian authorities have claimed that at least 10 people have died as a result of the Russian attack on the city of “Kustiantinfka” in the Donetsk region, which has been annexed to Russia!
Ukraine’s interior minister claims that the attack led to a fire that has now been contained. In the pictures and videos published by the Ukrainian authorities and media, clouds of black smoke rose from the building where the Moscow missiles hit.
The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, claimed on the “X” channel: “The Russians targeted an ordinary supermarket and a post office.” People are buried under the rubble! Relief and debris removal operations are underway to remove the survivors.
Vadim Filashkin, the governor of this region, claims that Russia used artillery fire, but shortly after he claimed that the attack was carried out with an air-to-ground missile X-38. “Nova Pushta”, the largest private postal partner of Ukraine, announced that the post office in the mentioned supermarket was damaged in this attack. The claim of an attack on the civilian infrastructure is while Moscow has always emphasized that it only targets the military infrastructure of Ukraine.
Kustiantinfka is located about 13 kilometers from the front line in eastern Ukraine. The claim by the Ukrainian authorities comes as Moscow officially annexed the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson a few months after the start of the war in February 2022 after holding a referendum. Ukraine and its western supporters consider this referendum and annexation illegitimate.
Also, this claim is made while the Ukrainian army, trying to penetrate into Russia from the Kursk border region, carried out severe attacks against this region belonging to Russia. Moscow has emphasized that at least five civilians were killed in these attacks.
