In the morning of 6 September 2023 the Russian military launched a missile strike on an open market in downtown Kostiantynivka, Ukraine. The strike, which deliberately targeted civilians, left at least 17 dead, including a child, and upwards of 32 wounded.[1][2][3]
The strike took place just hours after United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken landed in Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal wrote in response that "There will be a just retribution for everything."[4] Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack and described the attack as "utter inhumanity". He also stated that those that were killed were "people who did nothing wrong".[5]
