KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missiles slammed into a town in southern Ukraine, killing seven civilians, including children, and wounding dozens, local authorities reported. Ukrainian officials published photos of bodies stretched out under picnic blankets in a park in Vilniansk, and deep craters in the blackened earth next to the charred, twisted remains of a building. At least 38 people were wounded in Saturday evening's attack, authorities said, and declared a day of mourning Sunday.
