people there I ran here after the explosion because I rented a cafe here everything has been blown out there's nothing no windows no doors all I see is destruction fear and horror this is the 21st century all the destruction it's shocking to see in real life when you see it in photos it's different what you see on TV doesn't even begin to show what you see

in real life let's bring in Assad bag now who's live for us in the capital cave outside what more have you learned about this most recent attack and those impacted foreign just heard some latest reports from the regional prosecutor that one more person has been found a corpse has been found in that trouble so that takes the death toll to nine now we understand that a

one-year-old child was also injured in that but also three children now the prosecutor's office has said that they it was a skander missile which is a short-range ballistic missile we believe that hit that Cafe now when you go to chromatos it's it used to have a population of 150 000 now since the start of the war that has reduced it's very quiet and you do see

a lot of military but this was one of the few restaurants that were still open and the attack came around eight to nine o'clock yesterday evening at a time where people would have been having their dinner and it's one of the few like I said one of the few restaurants that still open is unlike Keith where many restaurants and shopping centers are open chromatos isn't like

that so this is why it's had such an impact but also it's not far from the front lines in the east of the country about 25 kilometers from the front lines and it is a major city to the west of the front lines in Donetsk and a major city that the Russia will want to Target in any advance and try to take over the region but

this isn't the first time this criminals has been targeted it was targeted back in April uh last year the city's train station was 60 around 63 people died but as I said they're still cleaning up the rubland one more body has been found all right thanks so much for bringing us up to speed Assad baig live in quiche
