Unimaginable': Russian Attack on Chernihiv Bread Line Kills At Least 10 Ukrainians
The city is the site of a March 3 attack that killed 47 civilians—many of whom were also standing in a bread queue—and that Amnesty International called a possible war crime
A Russian attack on the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv on Wednesday killed at least 10 civilians who were reportedly queued up to purchase food.
Oleksandr Merezhko, deputy head and foreign relations chair of the Verkhovna Rada—Ukraine's parliament—tweeted that "Russians have killed more than 10 people who were standing in line to buy some bread."
Blurred video of the deadly strike shows what appears to be the bodies of numerous people lying close together on the ground beside a building in a residential neighborhood.
Another 47 Chernihiv residents—many of them also lined up to buy bread—were killed in a March 3 Russian airstrike on a public square and several buildings that Amnesty International said "may constitute a war crime."
As Common Dreams recently reported, Russia's intensifying assault on Ukrainian cities and towns is exacting an increasingly heavy toll on civilians. While the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said Wednesday that 726 civilians have been killed and 1,174 others have been wounded since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, Ukrainian officials say the true toll is far higher.
Officials in the besieged southern port city of Mariupol say they have identified 2,400 civilians killed there; an adviser to the municipal government claims the actual total could be as high as 20,000.
