Russian bombs have repeatedly hit the Saltivka residential area in Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine. Now there was another momentous air strike.
According to the Ukrainian emergency service, at least ten people, including a three-year-old child, were injured in a new Russian bomb attack on the Saltivka residential area in the north of the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. The bomb hit a five-story residential building. According to the information, the facade and several apartments on the upper floors were severely damaged. A fire broke out. Several cars also caught fire.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj published a video of the incident on the social network X in the evening, which showed, among other things, severe destruction and a burning car.
Rescue workers are on duty to search for other possible victims, it said. “In order for such Russian attacks to stop, Ukraine must receive the necessary and, above all, sufficient support from the world, from partners,” said Zelensky. The country’s leaders know exactly what needs to be done and must act even more decisively, he said.
The Ukrainian president has been calling for months for the delivery and release of long-range weapons to hit targets in the Russian hinterland. There are currently restrictions on the use of such weapons. Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian war of aggression with Western help for more than two and a half years. Above all, it demands a strengthening of its air defense to provide better protection against Moscow’s air strikes.
