Russia Ukraine War Update LIVE: Russian Strike on Apartment Block in Kharkiv Injures 21

Russian forces struck a multi-storey apartment building in Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, on Saturday evening, wounding 21 people and prompting an evacuation of some of its residents, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. Kharkiv, 30 km (18 miles) from the Russian border, has been a frequent target of Moscow’s attacks since the Kremlin’s troops launched their February 2022 invasion of its smaller neighbour. Terekhov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said the Russians had deployed a guided bomb and that 60 residents had been evacuated from the building. An 8-year-old and two 17-year-olds were among the wounded, he added. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy condemned the strike and repeated his call for more weapons from Kyiv’s Western partners to defend against Russian strikes.
