Russian airstrikes Sunday on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv have injured at least 41 people including 5 children, officials said.
Ukrainian Regional Head Oleh Syniehubov accused Moscow of “aiming exclusively at civilian infrastructure” in the city, the BBC reported. He said a supermarket and sports complex are damaged, places residents use every day. Advertisement
The Ukrainian government announced the attacks on Telegram.
“Russia is once again terrorizing Kharkiv, striking civilian infrastructure and the city itself,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said after the attacks. Zeensky repeated his pleas to Western nation nations and allies to “”give Ukraine everything it needs to defend itself.”
Ten separate Russian strikes had been recorded, including the use of ballistic missiles, Syniehubov said, and added that people are buried under the rubble in some areas and that rescue operations are continuing.
The attack comes after Ukraine launched a wave of overnight drone attacks against targets in Russia, where fire broke out at two energy facilities.
