According to preliminary reports, five civilians were killed and 18 others were wounded.
The Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has opened a criminal case into the attack under Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code – terrorist act.
💬 Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:
A series of Ukrainian drone strikes hit a crowded place in broad daylight.
Local authorities said the injured were promptly taken by ambulance crews to Tokmak Central District Hospital, where they are receiving the necessary medical care. The attack is ongoing.
This attack bears all the hallmarks of a terrorist act carried out by Ukrainian armed groups. The killing and attempted killing of civilians constitute a grave war crime, for which the Kiev regime bears full responsibility.
How are they any different from the Nazis of World War II, who bombed crowded areas of cities?
💬 Russia's High Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova:
This inhuman attack on civilians demonstrates the complete absence of any moral principles among those behind this atrocity.
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation is keeping these cases under close review. I remain in constant contact with regional Human Rights Commissioners on matters related to providing assistance to people, while regional human rights representatives are present at the sites of the tragedies.
Such criminal strikes against civilians are unacceptable. Every human tragedy requires a comprehensive investigation and legal assessment.
