Russian forces carried out the second artillery strike on the village of Malokaterynivka in Ukraine’s frontline Zaporizhzhya Oblast hours after the deadly first strike that killed a 15-year-old boy, regional governor Ivan Fedorov wrote on Telegram on Aug. 20.

Three children aged 11, 14, and 17 were hospitalized after the first Russian strike.

No casualties were reported after the second attack, but several private houses caught fire.

“This is yet another crime by Russia that goes beyond humanity,” said Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin.

“We will not stop until the perpetrators of this criminal aggression are brought to justice.”
