A day of mourning has been declared in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv following a devastating Russian bomb attack that claimed the lives of at least six civilians, including a child in a playground. The attack, which occurred on Friday, resulted in the injury of 97 people, including 24 children, making it one of the most impactful Russian assaults on the region this summer.
The Russian forces conducted a 'massive bombardment' using Su-34 fighter jets that launched five guided aerial bombs from the border Belgorod region. These 500-kilogram bombs were difficult to intercept and targeted residential infrastructure, causing extensive damage to numerous buildings and facilities in Kharkiv.
