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.

Right, Maui residents will not receive ANY further aid. Seriously? Look at all the aid Puerto Rico received after Hurricane Maria, and how much of that was stolen.
Now, three individuals have been arrested on charges of disaster fraud, accused of stealing more than $1.8 billion in disaster relief funds that were intended to help rebuild Puerto Rico’s power grid, according to the Department of Justice. 2019

I got second hand burn from it. That was intense.
Heh. Like an ant fart in the wind.
As a globalist troll, you left out “Trump lost in 2020.”
Just to keep you honest, Tuesday Troll.
“Screw Maui ! Let’s give more money to Zelensky !” — Globalist trollbot
Zelensky lied about the missile strike that killed 2 farmers in Poland
— He lied about Bucha
— He lied about the Nova Khakovka Dam
Kinjal missile is hypersonic, good luck tracking it with your hearing.
Making shit up to try to sound smart just makes you ignorant.
I hate to see that kind of raw brutality. “I bet you’re a conspiracy theorist without any friends”.
Can’t stop laughing! It sounds like a second grader.
That ain’t ever stopped you.
Then stop doing it. You've been making shit up since the first shot was fired.
Nope, JulianRoepcke who admits he is no expert, does not understand how physics works.
So you are completely nuts.
UN report details summary executions of civilians by Russian troops in northern Ukraine
KYIV (7 December 2022) – In the initial weeks of the invasion of Ukraine, Russian armed forces summarily executed or carried out attacks on individuals leading to the deaths of hundreds of civilians, the Head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, Matilda Bogner said today. A UN Human Rights report based on the work of the Mission details how Russian troops killed civilians in Ukrainian towns and villages across the Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions of Ukraine from 24 February until 6 April 2022.
The report explains how killings of civilians were not confined to specific locations, although some areas were more affected than others. In the town of Bucha near Kyiv, which was under the control of Russian troops from 5 to 30 March, the Mission documented the killing of 73 civilians (54 men, 16 women, 2 boys and 1 girl) and is in the process of corroborating an additional 105 alleged killings.
