Two killed in Russian attack on holiday camp, Kyiv says
KYIV: A Russian attack on Wednesday that set ablaze a holiday camp in central Ukraine killed two people and wounded another dozen, local authorities said. The central Zaporizhzhia region, which the Kremlin claims is part of Russia and is cut through by the front line, has been targeted in increasingly frequent and deadly Russian attacks. The emergency services posted images showing firefighters putting out flames in single-story cottages and the bodies of those killed and hurt in the attack on the blood-stained ground. The regional governor said two people were killed and that 12 were wounded, including four children. 'There's no military sense in this attack. It's just cruelty to scare people,' President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media, adding that hundreds had been left without electricity after Russian attacks further south. Russian forces separately killed a man born in 1959 in the embattled town of Pokrovsk, an important logistics hub in the Donetsk region that Russia also said it annexed, according to local authorities. There was no immediate comment on the strikes from Moscow, which launched the invasion of Ukraine early 2022 and denies its forces target civilians.
