It was not immediately clear whether Russian forces had shelled the village in the Kharkiv region or had fired a missile
A Russian attack killed at least 49 people, including a six-year-old boy, as they gathered in a cafe for a memorial service in a village in northeastern Ukraine on Thursday, the country’s interior minister said.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said that residents of the small village of about 330 people had been holding a memorial service in the cafe that was hit. Seven people were also in hospital after the attack, which appeared to be the most devastating Russian strike on a residential area in weeks. “Now we are talking with European leaders, in particular, about strengthening our air defence, about strengthening our soldiers, about giving our country protection from terror,” he said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
