At least seven civilians, including two children, were killed after a Russian missile struck a residential building in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. The ballistic missile hit a five-storey apartment block, causing major structural damage and trapping residents under rubble. More than ten people were injured, including several children, while emergency teams launched rescue operations to search for survivors. The attack was part of a broader overnight Russian assault involving dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones targeting Ukrainian infrastructure across multiple regions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strikes and urged international allies to strengthen air-defence support for Ukraine.
