Ukraine has been struck by a devastating Russian attack, leaving more than 40 people dead and over 180 injured. The bombing, which occurred early morning, has sent shockwaves across the country and prompted international condemnation.
According to reports, the strike hit a residential area in eastern Ukraine, causing widespread destruction and chaos. The area is known to be inhabited by civilians, including children and the elderly.
Eyewitnesses described the attack as "savage" and "barbaric", with many saying they saw bodies strewn on the streets. The true extent of the damage and casualties is still being assessed, but it is feared that the death toll may rise further.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned the attack, calling it a "heinous act of terror" and vowing to take action against those responsible. The Ukrainian government has also announced an investigation into the attack.
Russia, which has been accused of backing separatist forces in eastern Ukraine, has not commented on the attack.

"We strongly condemn the senseless attacks on civilians in Ukraine and stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people," said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The United Kingdom has also condemned the attack, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson saying it was a "cowardly" act.
What are the implications?
The attack has raised concerns about the escalating conflict in Ukraine and the potential for further violence. The situation on the ground remains tense, with both sides accusing each other of aggression.
As the international community demands a peaceful resolution, the possibility of further attacks cannot be ruled out.
