Russia did the unforgivable – hit a block of flats. At least 30 people, including three children, were injured when a Russian guided bomb hit a high-rise apartment building in Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, Reuters reported.

“The rescue operation in Kharkiv continues. Russian airstrike. An ordinary residential building, a multi-story building, was damaged. There is fire and debris between the 9th and 12th floors,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said on the Telegram app.
Kharkiv Governor Oleg Sinegubov said civilian infrastructure was also damaged.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, is located close to the Russian border and is constantly under attack from Russian bombs, missiles and drones.
“And the world must help protect Ukraine from the Russian warplanes, from the dozens of guided bombs that take the lives of Ukrainians every day. This terror can be stopped. But to stop the terror, you have to stop the fear of strong decisions that are objectively necessary. Only determination can end this war justly. Determination is the most effective protection against terror,” Zelensky said.
Kiev has said it should be allowed to use more powerful Western-supplied weapons to inflict greater damage on Russian territory and reduce Moscow’s ability to attack. Russia denies deliberately targeting civilians, although it has killed thousands of them since it invaded Ukraine in 2022, Reuters reports.
