A Russian missile attack that hit a crowded pizza restaurant in an eastern Ukrainian city killed at least nine people, including three children, authorities said Wednesday, as rescue workers continued searching in the destroyed building’s rubble. The Tuesday evening attack on Kramatorsk wounded another 56 people, the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs said, in the latest bombardment, a tactic Russia has used heavily in the 16-month-old war.
Two sisters, both age 14, died as result of the attack, the educational department of the Kramatorsk city council said. Russian missiles stopped the beating of the hearts of two angels,” it said in a Telegram post. The other dead child was 17, according to Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin.
