PUTIN PROMISES RETALIATION OVER LUHANSK – Drone strike on Russian-held Starobilsk kills 21 people in overnight incident
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Ukraine had “opened a new page in a series of crimes” with its strikes on a dormitory in northeastern Luhansk region and on an apartment building in a Russian-held part of Ukraine’s Kherson region.
“Consciously committing the most serious crimes against children and teenagers at the teachers’ college in Starobilsk, and now in Henichesk, the Kyiv leadership has decided to open a new page in the series of their crimes,” Russian news agencies quoted Putin as telling a meeting devoted to the aftermath of the attack on the dormitory in Starobilsk.
The drone strike in the Russian-held town of Starobilsk killed 21 people in late May, while a drone attack on an apartment building in the Russian-held town of Henichesk on Sunday killed one child and injured 11.
