Devastating Russian Airstrike Hits Kharkiv, Killing Three and Injuring Dozens

A massive Russian aerial attack struck Ukraine’s eastern city of Kharkiv early Saturday, killing at least three people and injuring 21 others, according to local officials. The assault, described as the most powerful attack on the city since the full-scale invasion began in 2022, involved missiles, drones, and aerial glide bombs.

Kharkiv’s mayor, Ihor Terekhov, reported that the attack damaged 18 apartment buildings and 13 private homes. Ukrainian air defenses managed to neutralize 87 drones and seven missiles overnight, but the scale of destruction remains severe. The strike comes amid a series of near-daily Russian attacks, further dimming hopes for a peace resolution.

The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that Russia launched 215 missiles and drones across multiple regions, including Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Ternopil. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized the need for increased international pressure on Moscow to halt the ongoing devastation.

This latest escalation follows a fierce missile and drone barrage on Ukraine just a day earlier, which killed at least six people and injured around 80 across multiple territories. The situation remains dire as Ukraine braces for further strikes in the ongoing conflict.
