The latest wave of Russian missile strikes and shelling sowed death and destruction in eastern and southern Ukraine Friday, killing at least 10 civilians and injuring 20 others, officials said.
Five people died in Kostiantynivka, east of the embattled city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk province when a Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile struck a “point of invincibility” – an aid station where people could warm up and charge their phones.
Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said the victims, among them three women, were all refugees.
Rockets, missiles and artillery shells also rained down on the Sumy region overnight, damaging an office building, apartment buildings and a school. Two people were killed and nine were wounded in the town of Bilopillia, local officials confirmed.
In southern Ukraine, Russian shelling killed one person in the city of Kherson, which has been under near-constant fire since its liberation last fall.
