    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A Russian missile crashed into a market in the heart of a Ukrainian city Wednesday, killing at least 17 people in one of the deadliest attacks in months, officials said.

    The attack on the industrial eastern city of Kostiantynivka came hours after Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the capital, Kyiv, in a show of U.S. support.

    The fiery blast came from nowhere, and within seconds debris and dust were flying into the air in video shared by Zelenskyy on Wednesday and geolocated by NBC News.

    Blinken, the first top U.S. official to visit Kyiv since the counteroffensive began in early June, met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

    Kuleba said in an earlier Telegram post, alongside a picture of him and Blinken, that they paid their respects to “fallen heroes” at Kyiv’s Berkovetske cemetery.

    Ukrainian forces are fighting to turn what appears to be a minor breakthrough in the south into a substantial breach of Russian defensive lines before winter sets in.
