Russia says Donetsk attack shows Kyiv’s ‘vicious side’

The Hindu  

The Kremlin accused Ukraine on January 22 of using indiscriminate weapons and attacking civilian infrastructure after 27 people were killed in the shelling of a market in the Russian-controlled Ukrainian city of Donetsk on Sunday. Both Russia and Ukraine are using explosive-laden drones to attempt to strike targets deep behind the frontlines, and their armed forces regularly claim to have shot down enemy devices over their territory. The Kremlin also called a strike on the city of Donetsk on Sunday that it said killed at least 27 people an act of “terrorism.” Artillery fire struck a suburb of the city, which Russia controls and claims to have annexed, hitting a crowded market, local officials said. “The special military operation will continue in order to protect our people from this danger,” Peskov said Monday, using Moscow’s preferred language to refer to its full-scale military offensive on Ukraine.
