On the evening of Wednesday, July 16, Russian troops carried out an airstrike on the city of Dobropillia in the Donetsk region. The enemy targeted a crowded area, and reports already confirm dead victims and a large number of injuries, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, reports.

Lubinets said the Russians struck Dobropillia as most people were returning home from work.

"The strike hit the area near the 'Avrora' store. There are dead and many injured. Rescuers, medics, and military doctors are on the scene, but the local hospital cannot accommodate everyone," Lubinets added.

According to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, this attack is yet another deliberate strike by Russia on civilians.

"Russia is a terrorist state waging war against peaceful Ukrainians and destroying lives even far from the front line," Lubinets emphasized.
