"A ballistic missile strike hit a five-story residential building in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, killing at least 8 and injuring over 10 more, including children. Rescuers were sifting through the rubble on Saturday, searching for survivors. Several people were believed to be still trapped under the debris."
"Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia used 29 missiles, almost half of them ballistic, and 480 drones, most of them Iranian-designed Shaheds, during its overnight attack. 'There must be a response from partners to these savage strikes against life,' Zelenskyy said on X. 'Russia has not abandoned its attempts to destroy Ukraine's residential and critical infrastructure, and therefore support must continue.'"
"Kharkiv mayor Igor Terekhov said the wounded included two boys, aged six and 11, and a 17-year-old girl. Oleh Syniehubov, Kharkiv regional governor, said two children were also among those killed. The regional governor added that seven residential apartment blocks, commercial and administrative buildings, electricity distribution lines and cars were also damaged."
