Russia struck a supermarket in the town of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast on Aug. 9, killing at least 14 people and injuring at least 43 others, Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office said.
At first, Donetsk Oblast Governor Vadym Filashkin said that the town had come under the artillery attack, but later said that it was hit by a Russian Kh-38 missile.
Local outlet Novosti Donbassa shared the footage of the burning "Ekomarket" building and ruined surroundings.
A freight department of Nova Poshta, Ukraine's largest postal service, that was located in the targeted shopping center was also damaged, the company said.
One of the employees suffered a concussion and is being provided medical assistance. Nova Poshta promised compensation for destroyed packages, adding that not all parcels have been destroyed.
Filashkin said that according to the preliminary information the Russian attack also damaged four houses, nine shops, a car wash and 12 cars.
The full consequences of the attack are being determined.
"The attack against the supermarket in Kostiantynivka is another case of Russian terror. Warfare against civilians is all they can do," Presidential Office chief Andriy Yermak said on Telegram.
Search and rescue operations are ongoing. Some people remain trapped under the rubble, Zelensky said.
"Russia will be held responsible for this terror," the president wrote on his Telegram channel.
Later in the day, Russia attacked Kostiantynivka again, using Smerch multiple launch rocket systems, Filashkin said. The attack injured two people and damaged six houses and a gas pipeline, he added.
Kostiantynivka, like other settlements in the Donetsk Oblast, comes under regular strikes by Russian forces.
