According to official reports, a teenager was killed by Russian shelling in southern Ukraine. Three other minors were injured. “The enemy fired directly into a children’s cafe,” wrote the governor of Zaporizhia, Ivan Fedorov.
The 15-year-old died in the emergency room as a result of his injuries, the public prosecutor’s office later announced. The other minor victims were between 11 and 17 years old. An 18-year-old was also injured, it is said.
The impact occurred in the settlement of Malokaterynovka south of Zaporizhia. The village is only about 30 kilometers from the front line.
The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine has been going on for over two years. Civilians are repeatedly affected by the constant shelling. The authorities in Kiev estimate the number of children killed in the war at more than 500 and the number of those injured at over 1,300.
