More lives lost to Ukraine-Russia attack

In the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, the Russian army were said to have killed five people, including three children, as a result of  shelling on a residential building in the city of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine.

The five bodies had been recovered under the rubble of a multi-storey apartment building. This information was gathered from the Ukrainian emergency ministry, in a statement on Telegram.

A photo that shows the building whose windows were blown out was posted online by the Defence officials. The photo also showed three emergency workers who stood on a heap of rubble, while a third one climbed a ladder to inspect what was inside.

Ukraine’s Defence Minister, Oleksiy Reznikov, said that 103 children had been killed since the start of the conflict and more than a hundred hospitals had been damaged or destroyed.

Chernihiv, a city located north of the capital Kyiv and close to the border with Moscow’s ally Belarus, had been heavily shelled by Russian air forces since Russia launched the offensive on February 24.

Earlier Wednesday, Ukrainian prosecutors said 10 people in Chernihiv were killed while queuing to collect bread.
