15 Dead in Luhansk Attack by Ukraine
Russia Accuses Ukraine of Launching Bakery Bombing in Luhansk
The Russian Ministry of Emergencies has accused the Ukrainian army of launching a deadly attack on a bakery in the Luhansk region, which is currently annexed by Russia. According to a statement released by the ministry, a 2-storey bakery collapsed as a result of the bombardment, leading to civilian injuries and the tragic death of 15 people. The ministry’s employees were reportedly involved in the rescue operation to remove the bodies from the rubble.
In response to the incident, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mariya Zaharova described the attack as a “terrorist attack”, emphasizing that there were numerous civilians present at the bakery at the time of the strike. The situation has escalated tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides exchanging accusations and engaging in a war of words.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been ongoing for years, with the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014 leading to a deteriorating relationship between the two countries. The latest incident in Luhansk has further strained their already fragile diplomatic ties, raising concerns about the potential for further escalation and violence in the region. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
