Deadly Russian missile attack on Ukrainian supermarket
A devastating Russian attack on civilians at a Ukrainian supermarket and post office has left at least fourteen dead and dozens injured. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Chaos and terror broke out after Putin’s forces launched brutal shelling on innocent people in Kostjantynivka, a city in the Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk region.
Disturbing footage captured the immediate aftermath, showing thick black smoke billowing from the supermarket as emergency services rushed to help the injured. Detectives on the front page reported.
Kostyantynivka, an industrial city of nearly 70,000 residents, has faced repeated Russian shelling but continues to resist the invasion.
Unlike a recent Ukrainian HIMARS missile attack in the Kursk region, which reportedly killed hundreds of people, the victims in this attack were civilians, not military personnel.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the deadly attack and stated: “The attack of Russian terrorists on an ordinary supermarket and a post office. People are lying under the rubble. A rescue operation is underway and everything will be done to save people. Russia will be responsible for this terror, and we will do everything we can so that the world will stand with Ukraine, support our defense and save the lives of our people.”
Initially, regional governor Vadym Filashkin reported that the attack was carried out with artillery, but it was later confirmed that an X-38 air-to-surface missile was used. The sun reported.
Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s largest private postal company, confirmed that the freight office in the supermarket was damaged during the strike.

In addition to the supermarket, homes, shops and more than a dozen cars were also damaged in the attack, according to the Interior Minister’s update on Telegram. Kostyantynivka is located just 13 kilometers from the active battle line in eastern Ukraine and regularly faces Russian shelling and air strikes.
Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president’s office, condemned the attack and said: “The strike at the supermarket in Kostyantynivka is another [act of] terror by the Russians. Waging war with civilians is the only thing they can do.”
