A missile attack in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv has resulted in casualties, adding to growing concerns over the intensifying conflict.
A Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv killed one person and injured at least 103 people, including 8 children according to local officials. The strike occurred on Thursday, targeting the city’s central district.
Regional governor Oleh Syniehubov reported that several residential buildings, a petrol station, and civilian infrastructure were damaged in the incident. Emergency services responded quickly, providing medical aid and clearing debris.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, describing it as another act of violence against civilians. Kharkiv, located near the Russian border, has been frequently targeted since the conflict began.
Russian authorities have not commented on the incident. The strike follows a series of similar attacks across Ukraine as tensions in the region continue.
