Russia’s Aerial Bombardment Kills Four, Ukraine Condemns Escalation

The conflict in eastern Ukraine has reached a new level of violence with Russia’s devastating aerial assault on Kharkiv. This attack, which struck the city during the early hours of Saturday, is believed to have resulted in the deaths of four civilians and left more than 40 injured, including a baby and a 14-year-old. The coordinated use of drones, missiles, and bombs has caused significant destruction in a city that has already endured years of war. Ukrainian officials reported that Russia’s attack included the launch of 215 missiles and drones, with the city center subsequently targeted by bombing raids that killed at least one more person.
