A bombing of a bakery in the occupied town of Lysychansk in eastern Ukraine left at least 11 dead, Saturday February 3, said the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Moscow assures that it was a Ukrainian strike. Rescue operations will continue overnight from Saturday to Sunday, according to the ministry. Moscow adds that rescuers have for the moment “saved 10 people” rubble “and handed them over to the doctors”.
Leonid Pasechnik, an official with the Russian-installed occupation authorities, added on Telegram that“There could be dozens of other people under the rubble.” The official accused Ukrainian forces of targeting the busy business. The Russian news agency RIA Novosti published a video of a destroyed building, where we also see rescuers pulling a completely crushed car out of the rubble.
