Attack launched as world leaders, including Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, gather in New York for the UN General Assembly.
Russia has hit the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv with guided bombs, killing at least three people and wounding dozens, according to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“The targets of the Russian bombs were an apartment building, a bakery, a stadium. In other words, the everyday life of ordinary people,” said Zelenskyy on Tuesday, posting a statement on X about the attack, which also left dozens injured.
He posted a picture showing the facade of a nine-storey apartment block partially ripped off, the windows blown out and debris strewn across the street.
Kharkiv regional governor Oleh Syniehubov reported that 31 were injured.
“People are still trapped under the rubble. One of the multistorey buildings suffered a direct hit. The rescue operation continues,” he wrote on Telegram.
