Russian Missile Strikes Restaurant in Ukraine’s Kramatorsk, Killing 9 and Wounding Dozens

HeadlineJun 28, 2023

A Russian missile attack on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk has killed at least nine civilians, including three children. Tuesday evening’s attack on a crowded pizzeria just after 8 p.m. local time left dozens more injured. This is Valentina, a 64-year-old who witnessed the aftermath of the assault.

Valentina: “I ran here after the explosion. I run a cafe nearby. Everything has been blown up here. There is nothing — no windows, no doors. That’s what I see: destruction everywhere. It is fear, horror in the 21st century. I don’t even know how to describe it. My son was killed in the war, and now this.”
