Ukraine continues war of terror with strike on recreational infrastructure — diplomat

Military operation in UkraineUkraine continues war of terror with strike on recreational infrastructure — diplomat The attack left 12 civilians dead, including four minorsMOSCOW, July 27. /TASS/. The recent deadly attack on recreational infrastructure along the Zaporozhye Region’s Azov Sea coast fits the pattern of terrorist warfare it has been following for some time, Russian Foreign Ministry’s Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik said. "Unfortunately, there have been dozens, if not hundreds, of events that bear certain similarities. These actions were deliberate, showing cynical disregard for the norms of the international humanitarian law and fitting perfectly well into the framework of their war of terror," he said. In the early hours of July 25, Ukraine launched a series of drone attacks on recreation centers in the resort town of Kirillovka on the coast of the Sea of Azov. The attack left 12 civilians dead, including four minors, while another 19 civilians were wounded.
