Ukraine: Kharkiv apartment block hit by Russian strike, 25 injured
A Russian strike hit a nine-storey apartment block in Kharkiv early on Monday, injuring 25 people, including nine children. Emergency workers evacuated 32 residents from the damaged building, according to regional authorities.
At approximately 4 a.m., a Russian strike hit an apartment block in the Saltivskyi district of Kharkiv, resulting in the injury of 25 people, including 15 children aged between three and 15. Two boys sustained injuries, one aged eight and the other 12, with the latter taken to the hospital. The remaining victims were treated either at the scene or at a local hospital for their injuries and acute stress reactions. Emergency crews rescued 32 individuals from the damaged building, which had its lower floors destroyed.
Investigators are currently working to ascertain the type of weapon used in the attack. The strike took place during a series of Russian overnight assaults, which resulted in four people being injured in Kyiv and two others in Odesa. This incident marks the latest in a series of Russian strikes against Kharkiv, a significant city in northeastern Ukraine that has been repeatedly targeted since the onset of the full-scale invasion.
