On September 2nd, a devastating Russian missile attack struck the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, leaving at least 47 people injured, including five children. The assault targeted a shopping mall and an events complex, causing extensive damage and widespread panic.
According to local officials, the attack began around 3:20 p.m. local time, with Russian Su-34 aircraft launching guided aerial bombs across several districts of Kharkiv. This strike followed what Russia described as one of the largest drone offensives by Ukraine against Russian infrastructure, including power plants and oil refineries.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has renewed his appeal for Western allies to provide Kyiv with long-range missiles to counter the ongoing threat from Moscow. The escalation comes amid intensified fighting in eastern Ukraine and a major Russian offensive to repel Ukrainian forces that breached its western border on August 6.
As the conflict continues, Russia's airstrikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have led to significant civilian casualties, while Ukraine has ramped up its own attacks on Russian targets, advocating for advanced weaponry to weaken Russia's military capabilities.
In Kharkiv, rescue workers and volunteers are working tirelessly to aid the injured and evacuate civilians from the damaged shopping complex. Meanwhile, Russia reports intercepting 158 Ukrainian drones, with some causing fires at Russian facilities.
