Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the Russian attack, stating it targeted the everyday life of ordinary people with guided bombs hitting residential areas and public spaces in Kharkiv. He shared a gruesome image of a nine-storey apartment block, now partially destroyed, illustrating the devastation caused to civilian infrastructure that was just recovering from a previous strike. In terms of human cost, three lives were lost and dozens wounded, with people still trapped beneath the rubble.
Oleh Syniehubov, the Kharkiv regional governor, provided further details about the attack, revealing that 31 people have been reported injured and rescue operations are ongoing. One multistorey apartment building was directly targeted, and the situation remains dire as emergency services work urgently to free individuals trapped under the debris. This escalation of violence highlights the precarious security situation in Kharkiv, located just 18 miles from the Russian border, which has been subjected to relentless bombings for over two years.
