Bodies have been scattered across a village in eastern Ukraine after a Russian missile strike on a grocery store and a café.
At least 49 people have been killed and another six injured in Hroza, in the region of Kharkiv.
Among the casualties of the attack was a six-year-old boy, according to Ukrainian officials.
His body was recovered from the rubble amongst dozens of others as rescuers continue to comb through the metal slabs of the destroyed buildings.
Kharkiv governor Oleh Syniehubov confirmed the boy’s death, adding that a child was also injured.
He added that the strike took place at 1.15pm and that multiple people were at the café and the grocery store at the time.
‘Rescuers continue to work on the spot. As of now, the bodies of 48 dead people, including a six-year-old boy, have been recovered from the rubble,’ Syniehubov wrote on Telegram.
‘Six people, including one child, were injured. Doctors are providing them with the necessary assistance.’
In a later update, he confirmed that the death toll had risen to 49.
There are fears the number of casualties will rise as emergency services continue to clear the scene.
Bodies can be seen laying alongside broken concrete and twisted metal as dust settles in the air.
The attack came as Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Granada, in southern Spain, to attend a summit of the European Political Community, which was formed in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The president described it as a ‘brutal Russian crime’ in a post on Telegram.
