At least 10 dead including twin sisters, 14, in Putin missile strike on Ukraine restaurant ‘targeting Western reporters’

AT least ten people have been killed including 14-year-old twin sisters after a horror Russian missile strike on a restaurant in Ukraine.

Terrified families were pulled from the wreckage in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine as rescuers continue to search for people trapped under the mountain of debris.

A restaurant popular with war reporters and a shopping area was hit in Kramatorsk - which is one of the largest cities still under Ukrainian control in the east, only 18 miles from the frontline.

Twin sisters Yuliya and Anna Aksenchenko, 14, an eight-month-old baby and a 17-year-old girl were among the dead.

In a Telegram post about the tragic death of the twins, the city's council said a "Russian rocket stopped the beating of the hearts of two angels"

And added: "We share the grief of your family and together with you we bow our heads in deep sorrow."

Three foreigners were also reportedly killed, while at least 61 others were injured and it's feared the death toll could rise.

Eight more have been rescued from the rubble while three more are still believed to be trapped, spokeswoman for the Donetsk region emergency services Veronika Bakhal said.

A witness told Reuters: "I ran here after the explosion because I rented a cafe here...Everything has been blown out there.

"None of the glass, windows or doors are left. All I see is destruction, fear and horror. This is the 21st century."

A second missile hit a village on the fringes of Kramatorsk, wounding five while another attack in Kharkiv today has reportedly killed three.

The destroyed RIA Pizza restaurant is used frequently by war reporters, soldiers and volunteers, according to reports.

Financial Times reporter Christopher Miller tweeted that "every correspondent covering the war has probably dined" there.

Two other journalist Colin Freeman and Arnaud de Decker said they were inside the restaurant at around 7pm but left moments before it was blown apart by the missile.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack proved that Russia deserved "only defeat and a tribunal, just and lawful courts against all Russian murderers and terrorists".

The Kremlin hit back at claims it had launched the heinous attack saying Russia only targeted military targets, not civilian ones.

Shocking footage showed one of the wounded - an infant, born last year - covered in blood.

Other civilians were seen racing to the horror to rescue survivors in terrifying footage.
