Ukraines' Worst Single Loss of Life in a Year - Missile Strike Destroys ENTIRE Village in Ukraine, Leaving at Least 51 Dead

A Russian strike in the north-eastern Ukraine village of Hroza has killed at least 51 people, officials say. According to reports, villagers from Hroza had gathered in a local cafe for a wake following the death of a resident.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of "genocidal aggression".
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the front line in the north-east only this week, because this region has been the focus of Russia's military offensive ever since the summer. Last month, Russia said it had captured strategic heights near Kupyansk, just 30km (18 miles) to the east of Hroza. There is no obvious reason why such a small village would come under attack, but it is within reach of that front line.
Ukraine recaptured Kupyansk and areas around it last autumn and Russian forces have spent the past few months trying to re-occupy it. Six weeks ago Ukraine ordered civilians to be evacuated from Kupyansk because of Russian shelling.
Mr Zelensky said on Tuesday that the front line between Kupyansk and Lyman further south was "one of the hottest areas" of the war. The latest civilian deaths are an indication of that.
