<h1>Russian missile and glide bomb attacks kill 22 civilians, raising war crime concerns under international law</h1> Russian forces conducted missile and glide bomb attacks on multiple civilian targets in Ukraine, including a prison and medical facilities, resulting in at least 22 civilian deaths and numerous injuries. Ukrainian officials condemned these strikes as deliberate and constituting war crimes under international law. Despite warnings and threats of sanctions from a Western leader demanding a halt to the violence within a specified timeframe, Russia maintained its military operations, with Kremlin officials dismissing ultimatums and warning against escalation. The conflict has involved extensive use of ballistic missiles, drones, and glide bombs, causing significant civilian harm and infrastructure damage. Ukraine has responded with its own drone strikes targeting Russian military and logistical assets. The ongoing hostilities raise concerns about violations of international humanitarian law and the potential for broader regional escalation.
