Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the attack: "Russia strikes every day. People are dying every day. The reason is only one – Russia does not want to stop firing, and we are witnessing this. The whole world is witnessing it too. Every missile, every drone proves Russia's intention to continue the war," he wrote. According to Zelensky, the strike was targeted at residential areas.
