Houses and a public building were destroyed with the provisional report saying seven dead and five injured.

The United States has confirmed that it has used Russian surface-to-air missiles in western Ukraine, and has expressed concern about the escalation.

However, the video of the strike released by the Russians does not show any secondary explosion, which would normally follow if ammunition and rockets exploded.
Pentagon military sources have expressed concern that Russia could use new, even more destructive and possibly unknown weapons, with the US government pointing to the possibility of Russia using nuclear and biochemical weapons on a daily basis, seeing Ukraine resisting.
