Devastating Overnight Assaults on Kharkiv and Kyiv by Russia
Russian nighttime attacks on Ukraine's major cities, Kharkiv and Kyiv, result in four fatalities and four injuries. Key landmarks and residential areas were targeted. Ukrainian officials reveal ongoing struggles to fend off the assaults, indicating no immediate comment from Moscow and underscoring the war's devastating toll.
Overnight escalations in the ongoing conflict saw Russia strike at Ukraine's major cities, Kharkiv and Kyiv, resulting in at least four deaths and four injuries, Ukrainian authorities announced on Tuesday. These attacks underscore the relentless nature of the conflict, now in its third year, which has already claimed thousands of lives.
In Kharkiv, Russia's late-night bombardment of the Osnovianskyi district left a wake of destruction, reportedly killing four individuals just past midnight. The assault followed a guided bomb attack that shattered parts of the iconic Derzhprom building on Monday, a structure emblematic of the city's architectural heritage.
Meanwhile, in Kyiv, debris from destroyed drones deployed by Russia injured four civilians and ignited a fire in a residential building, local officials reported. The capital's air defense units are actively responding to the drone threats to minimize further casualties and damage.
