CHASIV YAR , July 11 — At least 15 people were killed and two dozen more were feared trapped after Russian rockets hit a five-story apartment block in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, local officials said yesterday as rescuers picked their way through rubble.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office, wrote on Telegram that six people had been rescued from the rubble at Chasiv Yar, and that 23 people, including a child, remained buried. “I was thrown into the bathroom, it was all chaos, I was in shock, all covered in blood,” she said, crying. “By the time I left the bathroom, the room was full up of rubble, three floors fell down. I never found the kittens under the rubble.”Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to President Volodymyr Zelensky, said in a Telegram post that the strike was “another terrorist attack,” and Russia should be designated as a state sponsor of terrorism as a result.
Ukraine and the West — which has been supporting Ukraine with weapons and stiff sanctions on Russia — call Moscow’s invasion an unprovoked war of aggression. Russia is “shelling the surrounding settlements, carrying out air strikes, but it is still unable to quickly occupy the entire Luhansk region,” he said on Telegram.Russia’s defence ministry said its forces had destroyed two hangars near the Donetsk town of Kostyantynivka holding the US-made M777 howitzers, which it said had been used to shell residential areas of Donetsk.
