The attack took place around 10:15 a.m. local time when two ballistic missiles struck a central area where people were celebrating. Graphic images from the scene showed casualties and destruction, including burnt vehicles and piles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-irreversible-consequences-of-school-closures\/\" title=\"The Irreversible Consequences of School Closures\">body bags<\/a>.Ukraine&#8217;s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, condemned the attack, describing it as timid and calling for a global response to Russia&#8217;s actions. This incident marks the second significant attack on civilian targets in a week, following a missile strike that killed around 20 people in Zelensky\u2019s hometown.Additionally, reports indicated damage from another strike on a kindergarten in the city of Kharkiv, even though there were no casualties there.
