Attack on holiday camps kills eight, says governor of Russian-held territory in Ukraine

-

July 25 (Reuters) - ‌Eight people were killed, ​including two children, in an overnight ⁠attack on holiday camps in a Russian-held part of Ukraine's ​Zaporizhzhia region, the Russian-installed local authorities ‌said on Saturday, accusing Ukraine of deliberately attacking civilians.

Kyiv did not ⁠immediately respond to a ⁠request for comment.

Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians in the war launched by Russia's ‌full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Another ⁠14 people were ‌wounded in the ​attack on the resort area of Kyrylivka, which lies on ‌the coast of the ​Azov Sea ⁠near the town of Melitopol, ‌said Russian-appointed ⁠governor regional Yevgeny Balitsky.

"The enemy saw and understood who it was ​targeting," he ‌said on the Telegram messaging app.
