A Russian missile has struck the central market in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk Oblast. At least 16 people were killed and 31 were wounded, according to the office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. The type of weapon is still being determined, but preliminary information suggests it was the S-300 missile system.

Rescue workers and police are on the scene, clearing debris and searching for people. Meanwhile, medical personnel are providing assistance to the wounded.

“Emergency responders quickly extinguished a fire covering an area of about 300 square meters. About 30 shops were damaged,” noted Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Ihor Klymenko.

The moment of the missile strike was captured by an external surveillance camera. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared the video on social media. He also warned that the number of casualties in Kostyantynivka may rise.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmyhal stated that Russia will be held accountable for what happened.

“The Russian troops are terrorists who will not be forgiven and will not rest. There will be a fair retribution for everything,” Shmyhal said.

The attack on Kostiantynivka coincides with the visit to Kyiv of US secretary of state Antony Blinken and Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen.
