July 25- Russian authorities said 11 people including four children had been killed ​by Ukraine in an overnight attack on a holiday camp in a Russian-held part of Ukraine’s ‌Zaporizhzhia region, accusing Kyiv on Saturday of deliberately attacking civilians.

Ukraine did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians in the war launched by Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Russian-appointed governor Yevgeny Balitsky said another 16 people had been wounded ​in the attack on the resort area of Kyrylivka, which lies on the coast of the Azov Sea ​near the town of Melitopol.

“The enemy saw and understood who it was targeting,” he said ⁠on the Telegram messaging app.
