A 50-year-old man and his 11-year-old daughter were killed after Russian forces struck a residential building in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia early on Sunday, authorities said.
Ukraine's State Emergency service also reported that a 46-year-old woman, who it identified as the wife and mother of the victims, was pulled from the wreckage.
"Severe punishment for the occupiers for this criminal war is inevitable," he wrote on the Telegram messaging app. Blasted-out walls revealed the charred remains of the family's living room, where a television stood smashed and shattered wall cabinets were still hanging."It's a shame, they were a young family," said neighbour Viktor Hrankin, 72.
