Russian glide bomb destroys Kharkiv apartment building injuring 35 people

A Russian glide bomb hit a residential apartment block in Kharkiv, destroying the top four floors and injuring at least 35 people. The attack left flames fanning out of windows on the ninth floor of the 12-storey building. Debris and rubble littered the leafy car park area below where bloodied civilians rushed for cover. Three children are reported to have been injured in the attack, although not seriously. Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, said that the attack showed that the West needed to allow Ukraine to fire missiles at airfields and other strategically important sites in Russia to stop the Kremlin having free reign to bomb Ukrainian cities. “The world must help protect us from Russian military aircraft, and the dozens of guided aerial bombs that take the lives of Ukrainians every day. This terror can be stopped. But to stop terror, you need to stop the fear of strong decisions that are objectively necessary,” he said. Read more here: #ukraine #russia #bomb
