Ukraine says three killed in ‘massive’ Russian aerial attack
Ukraine has reported that three people were killed in what it described as a “massive” aerial attack by Russian forces. The incident took place on Tuesday in a residential area in the eastern city of Kharkiv.
According to Ukrainian officials, the attack targeted a residential building, leading to the deaths of three people and injuring several others. The Ukrainian government has condemned the airstrike, labeling it as a brutal and indiscriminate act of aggression by Russia.
In response, the Kremlin has denied any involvement in the attack, stating that Russian forces were not conducting any operations in Kharkiv at the time of the incident.

Both Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of provocations and aggression in recent weeks, with the latest incident adding to the complexity and volatility of the situation in the region.
