Residents in Kharkiv have described a Russian attack on Monday night on the city’s historic Derzhprom building as “pure horror” and an act of deliberate cultural vandalism against a symbol of Ukrainian resistance.
A Russian bomb hit the Unesco-listed constructivist building shortly after 9pm. Nine people were injured. The skyscraper – completed in 1928 – suffered extensive damage. Four people died early on Tuesday in a separate strike on the city.
