Russian rocket hits Kharkiv’s historical district, one injured
A Russian S-300 rocket has hit a residential area in Kharkiv, leaving one person wounded, according to local police.
The rocket hit a street in Kharkiv’s historical district early on Saturday, leaving a large crater and damaging residential buildings.
“There are no military objects, no military equipment. Only residential buildings with regular citizens near the place of impact,” Kharkiv police officer Andrii Sharnin told Reuters.
Zelenskyy has issued a statement marking the country’s aviation day, pledging that Ukrainian troops will “destroy the occupiers’ potential step by step”.
The Ukrainian leader posted a series of photos dedicated to the country’s air force, and said the Russian “invaders will die like dew on the sun”.
