Russia bombed a residential building in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Saturday, killing three people and injuring nearly 30.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted footage of the torn-off facade of an apartment block and a crater outside.
“Russian terrorists have hit Kharkiv again with homing bombs,” he wrote on Telegram after the latest attack in Ukraine’s second-largest city, reporting three dead as rescuers still cleared the debris.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said there were 29 wounded.
Regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said two children were hospitalized and “only civilian infrastructure was damaged,” reports The Moscow Times.
Kharkiv is close to the border with Russia, which launched an offensive in the region in May, taking significant territory. It has increasingly targeted the city with air-dropped bombs.
In May, a bomb attack at a hardware store killed 16 people and injured dozens.
Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said last month that Russia had dropped almost 10,000 bombs aimed at Ukraine this year.
“This Russian terror with guided bombs must and can be stopped. We need strong decisions from our partners so that we can destroy Russian terrorists and Russian warplanes where they are,” Zelensky said.
