The regional prosecutor’s office said: “The Russian army committed another act of terror against the civilian population a child was wounded, two women were killed. “An enemy missile hit the territory of the local market.” It said it had opened an investigation into a potential war crime, citing preliminary information that the attack came from an S-300 air defence system in Russia’s Belgorod region bordering Ukraine. Ukraine retook Shevchenkove in September after months of Russian occupation. Criticising Russia over the attack, Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, wrote on Telegram: “Common terrorists.” Oleh Synehubov, the Kharkiv region’s governor, wrote on Telegram that a 60-year-old woman had been killed and the other victims were being treated in hospital. The prosecutors gave no details of the others victims except to say that all were female and one was aged ten. Suspilne quoted a local official as saying at least three pavilions were destroyed in the attack and that a shopping centre was damaged, but that Monday was not a market day.
