    Recent tragic event killed 45 including children

    Officials told AFP the cause of the crash was not yet known and the team will ascertain once the rescue operation is over. They said at the time of the crash children and employees were in the kindergarten. Notably, another incident happened on the weekend in which a Russian missile struck a residential building near Dnipro city killing 45 people including children.

    Battle in Brovary town till April 2022

    According to reports, the crash reportedly occurred the Brovary town, which is about 20 kilometers northeast of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. The area witnessed battles between Ukrainian and Russian soldiers for control in the early phases of Moscow's invasion until Russian forces withdrew in April. Recall that on February 24 of last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin dispatched soldiers to pro-Western Ukraine.

    Russia-Ukraine crisis

    Russia has pummeled Ukraine and its infrastructure recently in a series of attacks. But from Kyiv's side, the latest strike is reportedly the deadliest counteroffensive attack since the Russia-Ukraine war began in February last year, primarily over a territorial dispute. Last week, Russia fired hundreds of missiles targeting Ukraine's power and water supplies. The Kremlin, however, maintains that it refrains from hitting civilians.
