The Kharkiv attack prompted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to renew calls on allies to allow Kiev to fire Western-supplied missiles deep into enemy territory and reduce the military threat posed by Russia.
At least 47 people, including five children, were injured when Russian missiles hit a shopping mall and events complex in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. Earlier in the day Russia said Kiev had launched one of its biggest drone strikes against it since the full-scale war began, targeting power plants and an oil refinery, as Moscow’s forces advanced toward a key city in eastern Ukraine.
The Kharkiv attack prompted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to renew calls for allies to allow Kiev to fire Western-supplied missiles deep into enemy territory and reduce the military threat posed by Russia. The fighting comes at a critical juncture in the two-and-a-half-year conflict. Russia is waging an offensive in eastern Ukraine while also trying to dislodge Ukrainian forces that crossed into its western border in a surprise incursion on Aug. 6.
Russia has hit Ukraine with its heaviest airstrikes of the war, hitting a range of targets including energy facilities. It denies targeting civilians, saying damaging Ukraine’s energy system is a legitimate military goal. Its drone and missile attacks have killed thousands of civilians since the conflict began in February 2022.
