Al menos 10 muertos en un ataque ruso con misiles en la región ucrania de Járkov

At least 10 people died and 17 were injured in a Russian missile attack on a village in the northeastern Kharkiv region of Ukraine on Tuesday, according to Ukrainian authorities. Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported the deaths and injuries via Telegram. President Volodymyr Zelenski pledged a retaliation: "We will undoubtedly respond to this Russian attack."

Zelenski described the attack on Pechenihy, a busy intersection in Kharkiv with a post office, stores, and residential buildings. He shared photos of a destroyed building, burning cars, and emergency personnel carrying people in stretchers. As of now, 10 buildings were damaged, including a post office, a cafeteria, a post office, a store, and at least seven cars.

Ukrainian prosecutors said initial reports suggest Russia used two small Banderol cruise missiles in the offensive. Ukraine no longer regularly reports the number of missiles Russia launches against its territory, as the lack of air defenses hinders interception. Hours before, Zaporiyia Governor Yevgueni Balitski reported at least one civilian death and 16 injuries after a Ukrainian drone attack on a bus stop in Energodar, the city hosting the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Balitski accused the attack of being a "terrorist act" justifiable only by the "mad Nazis in Kiev."

Energodar's mayor, Maxim Pujov, said three of the injured were in critical condition. The Russian city of Energodar frequently faces attacks, which Kiev and Moscow blame each other for. Many of its residents work at the nearby Russian-controlled nuclear power plant. In August 2022, the International Atomic Energy Agency sent a permanent inspection team to assess physical damage and safety at the plant to prevent a nuclear accident in the conflict zone.

Ukraine's Air Force reported Russia launched 147 attack and other drones the previous night, neutralizing 111, with 19 more registering impacts and three having their drones shot down. At least two civilians, a man and a woman, died from a Russian drone impact in Zaporiyia. These attacks come as both sides increasingly target areas within each other's territories, with civilian deaths rising to unprecedented levels for this conflict since its start.
