A Russian ballistic missile killed at least six members of a family when it destroyed their home in Radushne, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, during Moscow's mass attack on Ukraine on July 30, according to local media.
"The impact of the Russian missile was so powerful that almost nothing remained of the house," President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote.
"Fragments of human bodies were found beneath the rubble, and only forensic examinations can determine which family members the remains belong to."
Local media reported that six family members had been confirmed killed as of 6 p.m., while identification work continued.
"And when we say that Ukraine needs Patriot missiles, when we seek capabilities to defend itself against Russian ballistic missiles, we are not talking about abstractions — we are talking about precisely such families."
