Russian airstrike in Kharkiv leaves teen dead, dozens injured
A Russian-guided bomb struck a residential building in Kharkiv on Wednesday evening, injuring nearly 30 people and resulting in the death of a teenager. President Volodymyr Zelensky once again appealed to world leaders for help for Ukraine.
At least 29 people were injured after the Russian strike on a high-rise building in Kharkiv.
The head of the regional authorities, Oleh Synehubov, reported that an 11-year-old child was pulled from the rubble with serious injuries, including head injuries. Unfortunately, medical services were unable to save him.
According to Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, several floors of the building were destroyed as a result of the airstrike.
Videos on social media show a massive hole in the facade of the nine-story block.
The Ukrainian president has already responded to the attack.
"Russia struck a nine-story building in Kharkiv with a guided aerial bomb. Unfortunately, there are casualties, including children. People may still be trapped under the rubble," Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Telegram.
Following yet another Russian attack, he urged allied nations' leaders to take more decisive actions regarding aid to Ukraine.
"Partners see what is happening every day. And under these conditions, each of their delayed decisions means at least dozens, if not hundreds, of such Russian bombs on Ukraine. Their decisions determine the lives of our citizens. Therefore, we must jointly stop Russia and do it with all possible strength," Zelensky added.
