A devastating Russian missile attack on Friday targeted Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, killing a senior police officer and injuring 40 individuals, as reported by the prosecutor general's office. The attack site was a location commonly used by policemen.

Among the injured were nine civilians and a rescue worker, according to updates shared on Telegram. The strike employed S-400 missiles, and images provided by police reveal rescue workers laboring through rubble under floodlights.
