Prosecutors said the attack occurred around 9:35 a.m. local time. According to Syniehubov, the missile hit the city center, close to busy roads. He said removing the debris should take a day or two. Two men and three women died at the scene. Another man died in hospital from his injuries. Russia has not commented on the attack. Ihor Kolodiazhnyi’s wife is among the victims. He searched for her as explosions rocked the city. “I was at home. She had left about ten minutes before, maybe less. I heard the explosion,” the 41-year-old man told Reuters as he stood in the street near the covered body of the woman, also 41. “I went down there, but she didn’t answer the phone and wasn’t on the street. I understood that she couldn’t have gone any further. I came back, parked the car and came here, because she usually goes to work this way. I got closer and… my wife had died.” A car burns down in the middle of a street at the site of a Russian missile attack in the city of Merefa on May 4, 2026 REUTERS/Vitalii Hnidyi Regional prosecutors said Russian forces may have used an Iskander-type ballistic missile. At least 36 people were injured. Moscow denies intentionally targeting civilians, although attacks since the large-scale invasion that began in February 2022 have killed thousands of people. Ukraine has also carried out attacks against civilian targets on Russian territory or in Russian-occupied areas, but on a smaller scale. Kiev also stated that Russia intensified attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure this year. Missile hits commercial area in Marefa, Ukraine Reuters VIDEOS: most watched from g1
