Recent targeted nighttime attacks by Russian missiles, bombs, and drones have caused significant damage and casualties in three regions of Ukraine. The ongoing conflict, which began almost three years ago with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has resulted in over 10,000 civilian deaths, according to the United Nations.
In Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, a 500-kilogram glide bomb struck a high-rise apartment building, injuring at least 25 people, including an infant. These glide bombs, which Ukraine currently lacks effective countermeasures for, have devastating effects on their targets, often causing widespread destruction.
