00:04missiles on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, targeting civilian infrastructure.
00:10This devastating assault, involving around 10 missiles, left at least 41 people injured,
00:15including five children. Several of the victims are in serious condition. Kharkiv, Ukraine's
00:22second-largest city, is located just 40 kilometers, or 25 miles, from the Russian border.

00:35Russian forces. Oleg Senhubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration,

00:46district, and a building near the Hydropark in the Kiev district were among the sites struck.

00:55In a statement on his Telegram channel, Senhubov condemned the attack,
00:59saying, Russia is terrorizing Kharkiv again with strikes on civilian infrastructure within the
01:04city. Kharkiv Mayor Iyar Tarakov added that one of the missiles hit a private residential area,
01:10setting several yards and a supermarket ablaze. He confirmed that there were casualties,
01:16including medical personnel. As the situation developed, local sources,
01:21such as the Telegram channel Kharkiv Dead, reported that the city may have been hit by
01:26as many as 20 rockets, causing widespread destruction and injuries. There are unconfirmed
01:32reports that Iskander and S-300-400 missiles were used in the attack. Local media also suggested
01:39that the missiles were launched from Russia's Belgorod and Rostov regions.
01:44This latest strike comes just days after a similar large-scale attack.
01:49Casualties from a previous airstrike on Kharkiv, which occurred on Friday,
01:53have now risen to seven dead and 97 injured, including 22 minors.
01:59Oles Senhubov provided an update on August 31, stating that Russia's assault with FAB-500 bombs
02:05damaged 82 apartment buildings, 11 private houses, three administrative buildings,
02:11two educational institutions, 47 commercial establishments,
