The Russian missile that struck Wednesday in eastern Ukraine turned an outdoor market into a fiery, blackened ruin where weeping civilians looked for loved ones among the mangled, burned bodies scattered across the ground.
The blast in the town of Kostiantynivka killed 17 people and wounded at least 32 in one of Russia’s deadliest strikes on civilians in months, Ukrainian officials said.
“There was no military target here. This is a peaceful neighborhood in the city center,” Stefan Slovak, who lives in Kostiantynivka, said in a trembling voice.
Behind him were the remnants of the market, where charred bodies could be seen in the street, their clothes still burning, near cars engulfed in flames. Behind a market stall holding fresh parsley, rescuers found a women in civilian clothes with her head covered in blood.
Video taken by The Associated Press showed a chaotic scene, with charred bodies lying on the ground, some of them still burning. As firefighters tried to douse the flames, first responders rushed to apply tourniquets and load the wounded into emergency vehicles using stretchers and blankets. Posters or tarps were used to cover some of the dead. Onlookers cried and consoled one another.
“They are shooting at peaceful civilians. Are we soldiers here? Are we shooting at them? No! So why? They are just trying to destroy Ukrainian nation,” said resident Nadezhda Negoda.

Impossible.. Russia is losing, or was that Tuesday?
It denies it’s one of the multiple account trollbots, but it refuses to answer whose account it was on prior to Tuesday. They all talk alike, anyhow. You can’t tell one apart from another.

Where’s the proof it was Russian? Where’s the proof this is video of a missile attack or just an explosion from a propane tank or something else. It’s an AP article and they lie all the time and get there news from anywhere but they’re own journalist because they have none.

Associated Press.
Yes you are right, the few small drones that have hit Moscow equate to the thousands sent into Ukraine.
But be careful the Russian narrative is that less than 100 civilians have been killed in Russia, FSB is watching. Talk of thousands could get you time in the slammer, of course there is always the “option” to sign a contract
This is horrible.
C’mon, Tuesday Troll. What’s your old FReeper name ?
OK, you put this in print.
Where’s your proof?
Many here in the US government, Congress and elsewhere revel in the death and destruction - as long as it’s on Russia - even inside Russia aiming in the long term for Moscow.
War is a nasty fact and act. People die - mostly innocents when big fights/operations are involved. The city of Dresden in WWII got fire bombed so bad more people were killed there than from Hiroshima or Nagasaki. And then there were the incendiary bombings of Tokyo. Ukraine isn’t going to be any different.
My guess is the AP ‘journalist’ on the ground near there was lamenting on the lack of minorities, women and children AND transgenders adversely affected by the hit.
The fed under trump printed soooo much money that this pumped the stock market to alltime high. Now we are paying for it with high inflation and high interest rate. The fed is tightening now with high interest rate
That’s the truth. If one disregards the printing of money then you don’t know economics.
You go ahead and do some rudimentary research on your own. It’s about time you educate yourself, don’t you think?
I’d hazard to guess some scenes in Maui (fires) were far worse. What did FEDGOV do to help?
“You probably a conspiracy theorist without any friends”
Bro, you ok? After a burn like that I just wanted to check on you and let you know ill still be your friend. Don’t despair.
LOL
I know his words were a blow. Hopefully you can start eating again around breakfast time. You aren’t alone! Lol
The Warsaw Pact was disbanded in 1991. Formed in 1955
Correction
Ukrainian missile
Video, visual and audio proof showing direction from which missile was fired ( Kramatorsk, Ukrainian territory), reflection of incoming missile on parked cars as it flew over, sound of launch 2 seconds before hit, from Ukrainian territory, with witnesses turning to look in the direction at the sound
Accidental, or false flag to create incident during Blinken’s visit
Some analysts suggest it was an AGM 88 HARM homing in on wifi from a phone shop in impact zone

Judging from where people look (hearing the sound from) before the impact and a likely reflection of the incoming projectile on a car, the rocket that hit #Kostyantynivka came from the North West.
Hope, its is possible to state that fact without being called names.

Julian, Bless his Heart, possibly to stay off a Uke kill list, says maybe it was a Russian missile programmed to do a U-turn.
If so there was no Uke ADA response
