According to the head of the Kharkiv police, Volodymyr Tymoshko, the Russian Federation hit the roadway and a residential three-story building. The Russian forces also hit a hospital opposite the building.
"There are no injured military personnel, all are civilians. The impact on a civilian object, where ordinary residents of Kharkiv live, in the city center, once again indicates that this is a terrorist act, committed with the aim of intimidating and destroying the population. It's genocide. This is an old construction building," said Tymoshko.
