11 killed in missile strike

A Russian missile attack that hit a crowded pizza restaurant in a city in eastern Ukraine killed at least eleven people, including three children, authorities said.

Rescue workers are continuing to search the destroyed building's rubble following the Tuesday evening attack on Kramatorsk which wounded a further 56 people, the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs said.

Two sisters, both aged 14, died as result of the attack, the educational department of the Kramatorsk city council said.

"Russian missiles stopped the beating of the hearts of two angels," it said in a Telegram post.

The other dead child was 17, according to prosecutor general Andrii Kostin.
