Russian attack on Kharkiv injures seven, two in serious condition
A Russian strike on the Kholodnohirskyi district of Kharkiv, Ukraine, has injured seven people, two of them seriously. A rescue operation is ongoing.
Seven people were injured in a Russian attack on the Kholodnohirskyi district of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city. Two of the injured are in serious condition. A rescue operation at the scene is still under way.
The headline of the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda says Russian forces carried out a massive attack on Kharkiv and that one entrance of a residential building was destroyed. The source gives no further details: it does not say what weapons were used, whether anyone may still be trapped under the rubble, or how much other damage was caused.
Kharkiv lies in northeastern Ukraine, close to the Russian border, and has been a frequent target of Russian shelling since the full-scale invasion began. The figures on casualties and the rescue effort may change as more official information becomes available.
