Among the deceased is a baby of a few months
A new rocket bombardment, this time against the city of Vinnitsa, in the western half of Ukraine and southwest of Kiev, left at least 20 dead and dozens injured this Thursday. Among the deceased is a baby of a few months whose photo along with his bloody cart is spread on social networks. This has just been reported by the deputy secretary of the presidency of Ukraine, Kirilo Tymoshenko.
According to police sources in Vinnitsa, around 10:45 a.m., three rockets reached the city center and hit an office building and the so-called House of officers of the Ukrainian army in the city, hitting an establishment dedicated to providing services such as laundry, shoe repair and locksmith shop, which also had a small market, apparently with a stall selling military uniforms.
According to local authorities, the explosions also damaged nearby residential buildings and a hospital and caused an intense fire. Several vehicles were destroyed by fire in the parking lot of the main square and the monument to the Ukrainian Air Force, also there, has also been seriously damaged, judging by the images and videos that individuals have uploaded to social networks.
One of the photos shows a leg on the ground that has been torn off from one of the victims by shrapnel. The head of the regional military administration of Vinnitsa, Sergei Borzov, assured that there were four more missiles, but they did not reach their targets when they were shot down by the army’s anti-aircraft defenses.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has posted a video of the massacre on his Telegram account, calling the event a “terrorist attack”. In his words: “Russia is attacking the civilian population every day, killing Ukrainian children, aiming missiles at civilian targets where there is nothing military. What is this but an overt act of terrorism?
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (GSCHS) has just confirmed that so far 20 people have been killed in the raid. Much more deadly was last Sunday’s attack on the town of Chasiv Yar, in Donbass, near Bakhmut, where 45 civilians, according to the latest balance, lost their lives in a residential building that had been almost completely destroyed.
