At least 10 killed in Russian missile strike on Ukrainian supermarket

A Russian missile strike hit a supermarket in the Ukrainian town of Kostiantynivka in the front-line Donetsk region on August 9, killing at least ten people and injuring 35 others, Ukrainian officials said.

The strike caused a fire that had been put out, the interior minister said. Heavy black smoke clouds rising from the destroyed building could be seen in the images and videos posted by officials.

“Russian terrorists hit an ordinary supermarket and a post office. There are people under the rubble,” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on X.

  17. Retired General Ben Hodges called it! He just said today when asked if he's worried that Russia might use a nuke in retaliation for Ukraine's incursion into Russia where they captured a few towns. He said "About all the Russians can do is hit another Ukrainian supermarket"!
