You can't remove the citation analyzing the evidence than argue "no evidence". It's also disingenuous to inject background info and wikilinks that conveniently attack one side while ignoring the Ukrainian side's past war crimes. This small citation is already fine. Achieve consensus per WP:ONUS first before butchering it.← Previous edit | Revision as of 10:19, 29 May 2024 view source Alexiscoutinho (talk | contribs)Extended confirmed users4,708 edits Undid revision 1226204310 by Volunteer Marek (talk) It is reliable and it is needed for the "3 explosions" citation.

The strike was conducted on an Epicentr construction hypermarket and resulted in three large explosions. The market was estimated to have contained about 120 people at the time of the missile strikes. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported that the missile strikes caused a fire covering 13,000 square metres that took 16 hours to fully put out. According to the Kharkiv Oblast Governor, killed 18 and injured at least 48 people, three of which were injured seriously. At least two of the victims killed in the airstrike were Epicentr store employees.

At 19:00, Russian forces hit a dense residential area in the center of the city with an S-300 missile, striking the pavement next to a residential complex housing a cafe, post office, and beauty salon and wounding 18 people (including a 14-year-old teenager).
Reactions
In response to the attacks, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address that the attacks were "yet another example of Russian madness". Zelenskyy also called for increased air defenses to keep Kharkiv and other cities in the country safe.
French President Emmanuel Macron on social media platform X wrote that the strike on the superstore was "unacceptable."
Senior United Nations official Denise Brown described the attack on the shopping center as ″utterly unacceptable″, adding that attacks by Russian forces hitting civilians and civilian infrastructure must stop.
