US EditionRussia, Defiant over Trump Threats, Kills at Least 16 Inmates in Missile Attack on Ukrainian Prison
UKRAINE, JUL 29 – Russian forces killed at least 27 civilians in multiple strikes including a prison attack that injured over 90 inmates, despite an international deadline to halt violence, Ukrainian officials said.
- On Tuesday, July 29, 2025, a prison in Bilenke, located in the Zaporizhzhia region, was hit by multiple Russian missiles and explosive devices, resulting in the deaths of at least 16 inmates and injuring more than 90 others.
- The strike occurred amid ongoing conflict where Russia and Ukraine blamed each other for shelling the prison, and the Kremlin warned against Western involvement escalating the war.
- The attack destroyed the prison's dining hall and damaged several buildings, while Ukrainian officials condemned it as a deliberate strike and a war crime under international law.
- Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said the strikes were conscious and deliberate, stating, "They could not have been unaware," while the Kremlin maintained the military operation continues and noted Trump's sanctions threat.
- The incident underscores escalating hostilities and the urgent need for diplomatic pressure, as Russia keeps up its military campaign despite international calls and US warnings of sanctions within 10 days.
