In the morning of 6 September 2023, a missile struck an open market in downtown Kostiantynivka, Ukraine.[1] The strike left at least 15 people dead, including a child and a couple in their 50s who were selling flowers at the market, and at least 32 wounded.[2][3][4][5][6][7] An investigation by The New York Times suggested that the missile was fired from Ukrainian positions west of Kostiantynivka from a Buk system, based on video and audio footage from near the launch site and from the town, and analyses of the explosion and its aftermath.[1] Security Service of Ukraine spokesman said that they continue an official investigation of the attack, but currently believe it was a S-300 missile launched by Russian forces.
