Many Ukrainians were dreaded dead on Sunday after a Russian strike on a school in Luhansk where around 90 civillians were taking haven, Ukrainian authorities said.

Upwards of 60 civillians have been killed when a bomb struck a town school in eastern Ukraine, the territorial lead representative said on Sunday while Russian powers kept shelling the last holdout of Ukrainian obstruction in the demolished southeastern port of Mariupol.Reuters.

Luhansk locale Governor Serhiy Gaidai said the school in Bilohorivka, where around 90 individuals were protecting, was hit on Saturday by a Russian strike on a school, setting it burning.

“There is almost no hope that anyone survived. The aerial bomb exploded in the middle (of the building),” Gaidai wrote on the Telegram messaging app. “In the school, there were approximately 90 people, 27 were rescued. About 60 people were probably killed.”

Reuters could not immediately verify his account. There was no response from Moscow to the report.

Ukraine and its Western allies have accused Russian forces of targeting civilians in the war, something that Moscow denies.

On the other side. US first woman Dr. Jill Biden visited western Ukraine on Sunday for an unexpected Mother’s Day meeting with her Ukrainian partner Olena Zelenska. In the mean time, heads of the Group of 7 countries vowed to boycott or gradually eliminate the import of Russian oil because of Russia’s attack of Ukraine.
