Russian Missiles Strike Ukraine’s Second-Largest City, Killing Civilians

KYIV, Ukraine — Russian missiles struck Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, in the northeast of the country, killing at least seven civilians early Thursday. The attack comes as Kyiv’s army struggles to fend off a fierce cross-border offensive by Russia’s larger and better-equipped forces.

Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported that at least 16 people were injured as S-300 missiles hit the city of Kharkiv, home to around 1 million people. The sound of 15 explosions echoed through the city, causing panic and devastation.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack as “extremely cruel” and expressed frustration over the lack of air defense systems from Western partners to prevent such barrages. The city of Kharkiv, located just 20 kilometers from the Russian border, has been a key target for Moscow’s advancing troops.

As the conflict intensifies, Ukrainian forces are facing significant challenges along the 600-mile front line. With Russia’s superior firepower and relentless attacks on civilian areas and infrastructure, Ukraine is in urgent need of more military support, including air defense systems like the U.S.-made Patriot.

The situation remains critical as Russian forces make advances in various regions, including Donetsk and Sumy. Evacuations have been carried out in towns near the border, and both sides continue to engage in fierce battles with no end in sight.

The international community is closely monitoring the escalating conflict, with concerns growing over the impact on civilians and the broader implications for peace in Europe. The need for a swift and decisive response to the crisis is becoming increasingly urgent as the situation continues to deteriorate.
