Russian Airstrike Kills Villagers Taking Shelter at School, Ukraine Says
KHARKIV, Ukraine—A Russian airstrike is believed to have killed some 60 villagers who had taken refuge in a school in the eastern Ukrainian region of Luhansk, authorities there said, as heavy fighting raged across the country.
The airstrike, late Saturday in the village of Bilohorivka, hit a school and a nearby concert hall, causing a fire. By the time the fire was extinguished hours later, rescuers had pulled out 30 survivors and found two bodies, while some 60 others who remain under the rubble are presumed dead, said Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai.
