Approximately 50 Ukrainian civilians were killed in a Russian strike that hit a grocery store in the eastern region of Kharkiv on Thursday.
Russian forces shelled a cafe and shop in the village of Hroza in the Kupiansk district shortly after 1 p.m., according to Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv region military administration. Syniehubov said 48 people were killed in the initial tally, including a 6-year-old boy, but that total has since increased to 51, according to Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. At least seven others were injured and are now receiving medical care while rescue operations remain ongoing.
"A demonstrably brutal Russian crime — a rocket attack on an ordinary grocery store, a completely deliberate act of terrorism. Kupyansky District, Kharkiv Oblast. As of this time, more than 48 dead are known," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Telegram. "My condolences to all those who have lost loved ones! Help is provided to the wounded. Russian terror must be stopped. All those who help Russia circumvent sanctions are criminals.
The scale of the death toll is a level unseen since an attack on a railway in Kramatorsk in early 2022 that killed at least 50 people.
