Quote from Niebytov: "Another woman died this morning, so seven people have now died from this terrible crime. We have 35 injured people, six of whom are children. The youngest girl is 5 years old."
Details: Niebytov reported that in Vyshhorod, a Russian missile, presumably a Kh-101, landed near a high-rise apartment building. As a result, four buildings, a kindergarten and a school were damaged. There was no military facility nearby.
Quote: "There was nothing within a 3-kilometre radius from there that could have interested them [the Russians - ed.], not even an energy facility. Investigators will conclude, based on forensic analysis, whether the residential building was deliberately destroyed or whether it was hit by the missile only because the missile was not as accurate as [the Russians] say."
