Kiev. The death toll from a Russian missile attack on Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, has risen to 11, officials said on Friday.
More than 100 people were injured and at least 18 people were killed when Russian missiles were fired at various locations, including the capital of Ukraine, Kiev and northeastern Kharkiv, on Monday morning. The Kharkiv prosecutor’s office said on Friday that a 61-year-old woman was killed, bringing the death toll to 11 in the city. Russia is under control. Ukrainian authorities in the Donetsk region said that six people were injured in Thursday’s Russian attack. Oleksandr Prokudin, the governor of the southern region, said that one person was injured in Kherson after being hit by an S-300 missile attack.
He has posted pictures on social media showing the damage to high-rise residential buildings and houses in the city, which was under the control of the Russian army for most of 2022.
Russia has repeatedly denied targeting residential areas. According to the United Nations, at least 10,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since February 2022.
Almost two years since the Russian invasion, the war-torn and front-line cities in the east and south and the rural areas near the cities have been shelled daily.- (AFP)
