At least three people were killed and scores were injured in a Russian shelling of Ukraine's second-largest city on Monday, a local official said. A military official described the shelling as an "absolute act of terrorism" after three missile strikes on Kharkiv just hours earlier.
Oleh Synyehubov, Kharkiv regional governor, reported on Telegram that a rocket launcher was used for the shelling, and children between the ages of four and sixteen were hospitalized with injuries.
“Only civilian structures — a shopping center and houses of peaceful Kharkiv residents — came under the fire of the Russians. Several shells hit the yards of private houses. Garages and cars were also destroyed, several fires broke out,” Syniehubov wrote.
According to Oleh Synyehubov, the Russian forces launched missiles on Kharkiv overnight, destroying a school, destroying a residential building, and hitting warehouses.
