51 people killed by missile attack in Ukraine.

51 duine maraithe de bharr ionsaí diúracáin san Úcráin.

It is reported that at least half a hundred people were killed – including a six-year-old child – when a huge missile fired by Russian forces exploded near a village in eastern Ukraine this morning.

Tuairiscítear gur maraíodh leathchéad duine ar a laghad – páiste sé bliana d'aois ina measc – nuair a phléasc diúracán ollmhór a bhí scaoilte ag fórsaí Rúiseacha le sráidbhaile in oirthear na hÚcráine ar maidin inniu.

The people had gathered for a rally that was taking place in a cafe in the village of Hroza when the missile exploded without any warning.

Bhí na daoine tagtha le chéile le haghaidh tórraimh a bhí ar siúl i gcaife i sráidbhaile Hroza nuair a phléasc an diúracán gan aon fhógra.

The village is in Kharkiv Oblast close to the border with Russia and has around 300 people living there.

Is in Oblast Kharkiv gar don teorainn leis an Rúis atá an sráidbhaile a bhfuil thart ar 300 duine ina gcónaí ann.

It is a raging war between the Ukrainians and the Russians in that region and Hroza is only 30 kilometers from the battlefield.

Tá sé ina chogadh craorag idir na hÚcránaigh agus na Rúisigh sa réigiún sin agus níl Hroza ach 30 ciliméadar ó bhrollach an chatha.

It is believed to be an Iskander missile that was fired by the Russians at the site.

Meastar gur diúracán den déanamh Iskander a scaoil na Rúisigh leis an áit.

That's a high-explosive ballistic missile that's 7.3 meters long.

Sin diúracán balaistíoch tréanphléascach atá 7.3 méadar ar a fhad.

It is also reported that two people were killed due to an artillery attack by the Russians on the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine.

Tuairiscítear freisin gur maraíodh beirt mar gheall ar ionsaí airtléire a rinne na Rúisigh ar chathair Kherson i ndeisceart na hÚcráine.

On the other side of the border, the Russians are reporting that Ukrainian forces have dropped cluster bombs on a large town in Russia.

Ar an taobh eile den teorainn, tá sé á thuairisciú ag na Rúisigh go bhfuil cnuasbhuamaí scaoilte ag fórsaí na hÚcráine le baile mór sa Rúis.

One person was injured and buildings were damaged in the attack on the town of Rylsk, which is 30 kilometers from the border between the two countries, the Russians say.

Gortaíodh duine amháin agus rinneadh damáiste d'fhoirgnimh san ionsaí a rinneadh ar bhaile Rylsk atá 30 ciliméadar ón teorainn idir an dá thír, a deir na Rúisigh.
