At least 62 people have died in the Russian air attack this Saturday on a school in Belogorovkain the Ukrainian province of Lugansk, as reported by the civil-military governor of the region, Serhii Haidai.

The Ukrainian official explained on his Telegram channel that on Saturday at 4:37 p.m. a Russian bombardment caused a fire in the educational center and in the House of Culture of the town, according to the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform.

“Most likely, all of the 60 people who are under the rubble of the building have died. He cannot kill soldiers, but kills innocent children,” Haidai lamented. “These are the real atrocities of the ‘Russian world’: bombing of a school with a bomb shelter, the murder of children,” he added.

The flames were extinguished about four hours later and that’s when two bodies were discovered in the rubble. Another 30 people were pulled from the wreckage of the building, seven of them injured. Already then it was reported that another 60 people had probably perished under the building.

Haidai had previously warned of the intention of the Russian forces to “deliberately causing a famine” in Lugansk with attacks on food stores and the water supply system.

However, Haidai stressed last Tuesday that the situation would change within two weeks thanks to the measures taken by Ukraine’s Western allies. “For the russian occupation will only get worse“, said.
