Russian Singer Entertaining Soldier Killed After Missile Hit the Soldier Camp
A Russian singer entertaining soldiers in occupied Ukraine has been killed after a missile hit the concert hall in which she was performing, local reports have confirmed.
Polina Menshikh was performing at a dancehall in the town of Kumachove, Donetsk Oblast, roughly 37 miles from the frontline when two missiles allegedly struck the area on 19 November.
The first missile hit the car park outside and the second struck the hall, according to Russian commentators on Telegram.
A video circling among Russian military blogger channels appears to show the moment the first missile hit the car park while Ms Menshikh was singing inside.
A few seconds later, the screen then goes black before abruptly cutting out.
Ms Menshikh later died in hospital of her injuries. She had been performing for the Russian soldiers to mark Artilleryman’s Day.
A Ukrainian army spokesperson has confirmed media reporting of the incident. At least 20 Russian soldiers also died as a result of the strike, according to other Ukrainian channels.
The attack has caused considerable frustration among the Russian mil blogger community on Telegram.
