This marked the latest attack on civilians as evidence of the intentional killing of civilians in Bucha and in other parts of the country has mounted, causing a global outcry. 

Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, tweeted Friday morning that he “strongly” condemned the “indiscriminate” attack. 

“This is yet another attempt to close escape routes for those fleeing this unjustified war and cause human suffering,” Borrell said.
