Moscow (TDI): A Ukrainian missile strike hit a busy commercial area in Bryansk earlier this week, killing six people and injuring 42, including a teenager admitted to the regional children’s hospital.
The attack targeted residential buildings, shops, and industrial facilities, authorities said.
Russia accused the Kiev government of carrying out a deliberate terrorist attack with Western support, citing the use of British-supplied Storm Shadow long-range missiles and alleged intelligence assistance from NATO countries.
Moscow condemned the strike as a premeditated act against civilians and called on the United Nations and international organizations to respond, warning that failure to act would be seen as tacit approval of Ukraine’s actions.
