A recent Russian aerial bombardment in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region resulted in the deaths of three civilians and injuries to at least 15 others. The attack, which hit residential buildings and a medical facility, marks the latest in a series of assaults since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Regional officials reported widespread destruction, including damage to supermarkets and a shopping center. Amid ongoing violence, Ukraine continues to call for enhanced air defense support from Western allies, while also reporting successful interception of numerous drones above Kyiv.
