"Sadly, a woman was injured in the attack today," said Oleksandr Shumyk, acting spokesman for the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Volyn Oblast. "Before the arrival of emergency workers, she had already been taken to hospital, and unfortunately, I do not know her condition at this time. The shop where she worked also suffered minor damage. Indeed, her son was on duty that day, but he did not go to the scene – another team was working there."
