At least 4 people were killed, including a child, and over 28 injured after a Russian guided bomb struck a residential building and a high-rise in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, according to the city’s mayor.
“Occupiers killed a child right on the playground. At least three other people in the area were injured,” Ihor Terekhov said on Telegram, Reuters reported.
Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated his appeal to Western allies for permission to carry out long-range strikes on Russian military air bases following the Friday attack.
“A strike … would not have happened if our defence forces had the ability to destroy Russian military aircraft where they are based,” Zelenskyy said on Telegram.
A video from the scene, shared by president’s chief of Staff Andriy Yermak, showed massive flames and thick black smoke billowing from the upper floors of the building.
“Russians hit civilians again,” Yermak said on Telegram.
