At least ten people died and more than fifty were injured in a Russian missile strike on a restaurant in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, on Wednesday, June 28th. The strategically located town had already suffered a particularly costly bombardment in April 2022.
The death toll from a Russian missile strike on a restaurant in eastern Ukraine rose to ten on Wednesday, as Kyiv downplayed the impact of the Wagner mutiny on fighting.
Three children were among the dead at the Ria Pizza restaurant, while at least 56 people were injured in the attack.
The eatery is popular with both soldiers and journalists in the town of Kramatorsk, one of the largest still under Ukrainian control in the east.
The bloody conflict is now 16 months old, with mass casualties on both sides and a rising civilian toll.
Also on Tuesday, the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine said it had evidence that Russian troops had summarily executed at least 77 detained civilians.
