This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that at least 48 people were killed in a Russian strike that hit a grocery store in the northeast Kharkiv region.
Images shared online by Zelenskyy’s office showed emergency workers examining a huge pile of crushed concrete and twisted metal at the scene of the purported strike, while others showed the bodies of victims laying on the ground after being removed from the rubble.
The governor of the Kharkiv region, Oleh Synehubov, said the building struck was a café and shop in the village of Hroza, Kharkiv’s Kupyansk district, and that the missile or shells hit at about 1:15 p.m. local time, when the business was busy.
More than 80% of its residents had already fled when CBS News visited in April, and the scars of Russia’s relentless shelling pockmarked roads and apartment buildings.
Russia’s invading forces had advanced to within less than six miles of Kupyansk in April and they were lying in wait, just over the eastern horizon.
Since then the war has largely ground to a stalemate along the nearly 600-mile front line that stretches across eastern Ukraine, from its northern to southern borders.
