As of Monday, May 27, the number of people killed as a result of a russian missile attack on the Epicenter hypermarket in Kharkiv increased to 18, and the number of injured - to 48.

Serhii Bolvinov, the head of the Investigative Department of the State Police in the Kharkiv Region, said that the human body found this morning belonged to 17-year-old Kyrylo.
