Two women were killed and ten people wounded in the missile attack on the local museum in the city of Kupyansk, Kharkiv region of Ukraine, carried out by Russia’s Armed Forces, head of the regional administration Oleh Synehubov reports.
“There are no military facilities near the museum building that was hit by the enemy’s S-300 missile. The enemy purposefully strikes against civilian infrastructure and commits terrorist acts against the civilian population,” Synehubov says.
According to him, out of the ten wounded civilians three were hospitalised and seven received light injuries. Rescue crews and medics are still operating on the attack site.
One of the women killed in the strike was an employee of the museum that was hit by the missile. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the attack, saying: “All those guilty of these war crimes will definitely be brought to justice and it will be merciless”.
