A Russian missile struck a children's playground in Ukraine's southern city of Mykolaiv, killing a toddler and two adults and wounding five others.
"A playground near an ordinary house... Every day Russia demonstrates with its terror that pressure on it is insufficient," President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated on Telegram.
He shared photographs from the scene, which showed two victims lying on the ground. One was a severely disfigured child's body, coated in blood, dust, and debris. A piece of a missile lay aside.
