U.S. and Europe condemn devastating Russian strike that killed 22 in Pryluky
The U.S. and Europe condemned Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine, specifically the missile strike on Pryluky that killed 22 people, Voice of America reported on October 7.
On October 7, a Russian strike targeted an Auchan supermarket warehouse in Ukraine, causing damage but fortunately, no injuries to the employees. The company's statement highlighted that "Today, our fresh produce warehouse was damaged in an attack," emphasizing the resilience of their teams. This incident follows a previous Russian strike on September 26 that damaged the Auchan Belichi store within the Lavina Mall shopping center, also causing no injuries but forcing the supermarket to close temporarily.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported Russia's offensive that night, launching 48 cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and 130 drones against Ukraine. Air defenses successfully intercepted 5 ballistic missiles, 39 cruise missiles, and 117 UAVs. The primary targets were Kyiv and the surrounding regions, with Kharkiv, Poltava, and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts also coming under attack.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the overnight assault struck infrastructure in Kyiv and 12 oblasts.
