Russian forces attacked the city of Kharkiv on July 24, injuring at least 25 people, including two children, aged 10 and 17, local authorities reported.
Two Russian glide bombs struck the Shevchenkivskyi district at around 11:30 a.m. local time, targeting a high-rise residential building and civilian enterprise.
Some people remain trapped beneath the rubble of the multi-story building following the attack, while a separate hit on an industrial facility sparked a fire, according to Governor Oleh Syniehubov.
Emergency crews, including medical personnel, rescuers, and police, are working at the scene of the attacks.
"These are completely senseless strikes, with no military objective. It's clear that Russia's only goal is to continue its aggression and killing," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
"That is why we need support for our defense — robust air defense systems and expanded weapons production. All of this is essential to saving lives," Zelensky added.
In recent months, Moscow has been intensifying attacks against Kharkiv – Ukraine's second-largest city – which sits just over 20 kilometers (15 miles) from the Russian border, as well as against smaller settlements in the Kharkiv Oblast.
