50 killed, 6 wounded, including a child, after a Russian missile strike reportedly on a supermarket and café in the village of Hroza in the #Kupiansk area of #Kharkiv region of #Ukraine this morning. Casualties as of an hour ago.

The bodies of the deceased, including a 6-year-old boy, were removed from the destroyed infrastructure, Oleh Synehubov, a regional military official, said. The bodies of 29 victims have been identified, the Ukrainian interior minister said. The other bodies were sent to facilities in the city of Kharkiv.

There were locals inside the store when the missile ripped through, Ukraine’s interior minister said, triggering a scale of devastation not seen since an attack on a railway station in Kramatorsk in early 2022 killed at least 50 people.

At least one person from every family in Hroza had congregated in the cafe on Thursday for a wake, Klymenko added. According to the latest death toll, the attack wiped out about one-fifth of the village, which was home to 330 people.
