Three individuals were killed and 25 others injured in a missile strike near the Ukrainian town of Pisochyn, on October 11, according to the country's National Police. Among the fatalities were a 16-year-old boy, a 19-year-old woman, and a 51-year-old woman. The victims were struck by the missile while residing in a grocery store and several nearby buildings.
The injured, who included two young girls aged 13 and 9, are currently receiving medical treatment; the severity of their injuries has not been disclosed. The assault follows another deadly day in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, where two glide bombs struck the Nemyshlyanskyi district, resulting in one death and eight injuries.
President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that Russia has launched approximately 1,450 aerial bombs, 75 missiles of various types, and over 1,640 attack drones this week, with around 60% of the drones being jet-powered. Russia frequently targets civilian infrastructure in Ukrainian cities as the conflict persists. Kharkiv, situated close to the front line, is a frequent objective of such strikes.
