Russian Strike on Kharkiv Kills Six and Injures Dozens
Russian airstrikes hit residential areas of Kharkiv, killing six people and injuring 59, including children, according to Ukrainian authorities. Three guided bombs struck the northeastern city, damaging apartment buildings and warehouses as Russia continued attacks across several Ukrainian regions.
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city and only about 30 kilometres from the Russian border, remains highly exposed to Russian air attacks. The latest casualties underline the continuing civilian cost of the war as Russian forces maintain pressure across eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian emergency teams will continue searching damaged buildings while Kyiv presses allies for additional air-defence capabilities. Fighting in the Donbas and long-range strikes by both Russia and Ukraine are expected to remain intense.
