At least 51 people were killed in a suspected Russian missile attack on Ukraine’s eastern region of Kharkiv on Thursday, Ukraine’s interior minister said.
The Hroza village members were reportedly attending the funeral of a Ukrainian soldier, who was a local resident when the missile struck.
A six-year-old child was among the victims when a cafe was hit, according to the BBC.
Ukraine’s defence ministry blamed Russia for the attack and said there were no military targets in the area.
Russia has not directly commented on the strike.
But on Friday, BBC cited a Russian state news agency Ria Novosti as reporting that the Russian military had carried out 20 air and artillery strikes on Ukrainian targets in the Kupyansk district – where Hroza village is located.
