Russian strike kills oneRussian strike kills one in Kharkiv apartment block
Russian guided bombs struck an apartment block in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Saturday, killing at least one person and injuring nine others, including a 6-year-old child.
The attack on Ukraine’s second-largest city adds to the civilian toll of Russia’s war and highlights the continuing risk to residential areas far from the front line.
- Kharkiv was Ukraine’s capital in the early Soviet period before Kyiv took that role.
- Ukraine’s northeast places Kharkiv within range of repeated cross-border attacks from Russia.
- Apartment blocks built in the Soviet era often house hundreds of residents in one complex.
Russia-Ukraine War
Russia and Ukraine are locked in an retaliatory long-range drone and missile war that now strikes deep into both countries, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Crimea, and major Ukrainian cities like Kyiv and Dnipro. Ukrainian forces launched one of their largest drone attacks on June 26, striking 12 Russian regions and hitting key energy targets, while Russia continues massive retaliatory bombardments that kill civilians and destroy infrastructure.
