Ukraine’s State Emergency Service on June 30 raised the number of injured to more than 35 in an apparent Russian rocket attack the previous night that killed seven people in the city of Vilnyansk, in the southern Zaporizhzhya region.
It reported that building and car fires had been put out at the scene, where Governor Ivan Fedorov said three children were believed to be among the dead and nine more children among the dozens of injured.
Initial reports had put the number of injured at around 10.
“How can we be expected to live?” a resident of Vilnyansk said in comments to RFE/RL.
“There is a burned corpse there,” she said, pointing to rescue workers wrapping the body of a blast victim.
“This is a very popular area. There is an ATB [supermarket]. There are benches. People are walking. Children are walking. Some people were driving by from work. They just disappeared [in the blast] and we cannot find them.”
