Russian Bomb Hits High-rise Building in Ukraine's Kharkiv

The strike killed seven

A Russian guided bomb attack on Ukraine's northeastern city of Kharkiv hit a residential building and a playground on Friday, killing seven people and injuring at least 77 more, local authorities said.

Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a 14-year-old girl was among the dead. Ihor Terekhov, the city's mayor, had earlier said on Telegram that one child was killed in the playground.

The 12-storey apartment block caught fire as a result of the strike, the mayor said. The death toll from the attack climbed to seven when a woman's body was recovered from the rubble, he added in a later statement.
