Ukrainian rocket strikes bakery, killing at least 28 people, Russia claims

Over the weekend, a Ukrainian rocket, reportedly supplied by the US, targeted a Russian-occupied city, striking a bakery in Lysychansk and resulting in the tragic death of at least 28 people, including nine women and a child, as announced by Moscow officials.

Leaders backed by Russia in the occupied Luhansk region asserted that Ukraine hit the Adriatic Restaurant, which housed a bakery for civilians.

The blast trapped individuals beneath the rubble, leading to 28 fatalities, while 10 others were promptly rescued.

By Sunday morning, an additional four individuals were extricated, all in critical condition, according to Russia’s emergency ministry, the New York Post reported.

The Foreign Ministry of Moscow criticized the strike on Saturday, using the incident to caution the European Union about the potential use of its allocated funds.

The EU had recently agreed to provide 50 billion euros (over $54 billion) to Kyiv.

Ukrainian officials have not yet provided any comments on the attack that occurred on Saturday.
