UN Secretary General reacts to Russian missile attack on Vinnytsia

That’s according to a statement issued by the press service of the UN Secretary General, Ukrinform reports.

“The Secretary-General is appalled by today's missile attack,” reads the statement.

"The Secretary-General condemns any attacks against civilians or civilian infrastructure and reiterates his call for accountability for such violations," the statement adds.

Cruise missiles fired from a Russian submarine in the Black Sea hit civilian areas of Vinnytsia, including an office center and a number of residential buildings, the press service of the UN Secretary General reminds.

Speaking to journalists, UN Deputy Press Secretary Farhan Haq recalled that the hostilities destroyed important infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, leaving millions without access to medical services, water, electricity and gas.

In particular, almost 800 settlements have been cut off from power supplies, while more than 230,000 households and enterprises have lost access to gas supplies. Donetsk region was affected the most, the UN official clarified.

As reported, on July 14, the Russians hit the center of Vinnytsia with Kalibr cruise missiles. According to the latest data, 23 people were killed, including three children.
