Kharkiv mayor says 9 killed in Russian shelling

The mayor of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, says at least nine civilians were killed and 37 injured by Russian attacks today.

The dead include three children, he says. A family was burned to death in their car, and other people died when they ventured out of shelter for water, he says.

“The missiles hit residential buildings, killing and injuring peaceful civilians. Kharkiv has not seen such damage for a very long time. And this is horrible,” he says.

The UN confirms at least 102 civilian deaths since the start of the invasion, and notes that the actual number is likely far higher.
