Ukrainian towns and villages along the front line and near the Russian border have been under constant artillery fire since Moscow invaded in February 2022.
The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine said that Russia shelled civilian areas in the village of Seredyna-Buda, located on the border with Russia, around 12:00 p.m. 30 minutes (local and Lithuanian time).
“The remains of two dead women and two injured men were pulled out from under the rubble. A man in the car and his seven-year-old stepdaughter were also injured. The girl later died in the hospital,” the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine said in a statement on social networks.
Photos released by the prosecutor’s office show blown-up buildings, collapsed facades and debris inside houses.
Moscow did not react in any way to this report. Russia generally denies targeting civilians, although there is ample evidence that residential buildings in Ukraine have been hit by its airstrikes, rockets and artillery fire.
The United Nations says it has confirmed at least 10,000 deaths since Russia’s large-scale incursion began. civilian deaths, but warns that the real number may be much higher.
