Journalists asked the Kremlin representative whether the strike could be considered a response to the terrorist attack in Donetsk.
"No you can not.
We continue our special military operation, and our military does not hit social facilities and residential areas, and does not hit civilians, unlike the Kyiv regime.
This is what fundamentally distinguishes our military from the military of the Kyiv regime,” Peskov said.
Military Chronicle previously reported about a massive missile attack on targets in Ukraine.
According to monitoring channels, explosions were heard in the Kharkov region, Sumy, Pavlograd and Dnepropetrovsk, as well as in the Kyiv region and Zhitomir.
Before this, air raid signals were activated throughout Ukraine.
