Deadly Russian Strike Damages Residential Area in Kharkiv

Ukrainian officials said a Russian strike on a residential area in Kharkiv on Friday, April 15, killed at least seven people and injured 34.

Video from Ukraine’s public broadcaster on Friday shows damage to buildings and vehicles in Kharkiv’s ХТЗ neighborhood, and features interviews with local residents affected by the strike.

A second strike hit an office building in Kharkiv the following day, killing at least one person and injuring 18, the State Emergency Service said.

Governor Oleg Sinegubov said on Saturday that Russian forces had “increased the intensity of attacks on residential areas” and urged residents to exercise care and not to ignore air-raid sirens. Credit: Suspilne Kharkiv via Storyful
