At least 10 people were killed and 35 injured in a rocket attack by Russian troops in the center of Ukraine’s second-largest city on Tuesday. Interior Ministry adviser Anton Hrashchenko said in a social media post that if the rubble was cleared, the number of casualties would increase.
“The rubble will be removed and there will be more casualties,” he said.

He added that on the sixth day of the Russian invasion, “defending the capital is now the country’s main priority”.
