Russia attacked Kharkiv: there are casualties
According to Mayor Igor Terekhov, two ballistic missiles hit a residential area of Kharkiv this morning.
One rocket hit the ground, damaging the facade of a dormitory and three five-story residential buildings. Windows were broken out in the buildings, and the facades were damaged.
Another one hit the road a few dozen meters from the school. The Kyivskyi district of the city was under rocket attack.
When you stand near this crater, you realize how different everything could have been. A few more meters and the impact would have hit the house. A few more minutes and there would have been cars and buses on the road. It is a real miracle that there were no casualties.
