A Russian strike on an apartment block in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv has injured at least 41 people, with fears others are trapped under the rubble, Ukrainian officials said Sunday.
Three of those who were injured when a guided aerial bomb hit the 12-story building were children, the head of the Kharkiv city military administration Oleh Syniehubov said. At least 14 people have been hospitalized as a result of the strike and one person has been reported missing. “There may be people under the rubble,” Syniehubov said. “The search and rescue operation continues.” One of the residents refused to evacuate without his dog, Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said.
“This is civil infrastructure,” the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets said. “Russia massively violates human rights and international humanitarian law. The reaction must be here and now.” Kharkiv lies near the border with Russia and has seen frequent attacks since the full-scale Russian invasion began in 2022. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeated his call for more military support from allies following the attack.
