Multiple news outlets are reporting that at least 10 people who were in line for bread were killed when Russian forces shelled the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv on Wednesday.
Video circulated online shows what appear to be lifeless bodies on the ground, but the images of the bodies had been blurred (see below).
The footage also shows someone being carried to a vehicle close by. It is not clear whether the individual was alive.
Vyacheslav Chaus, the director of the regional administration in Chernihiv, said the attack was indicative of Russia’s aggression against civilians, CNN reported.
“This is not the first such incoming shell [in the city], nor is it the first shelling of civilians by the enemy,” Chaus said while speaking on Ukrainian television. “The Russians are shelling and destroying mostly civilian infrastructure in the city of Chernihiv and other cities in the region,” he added.
