Russia strikes Ukraine's Kharkiv with ballistic missiles: Consequences revealed

This morning, 2 Russian ballistic missiles hit a residential area of Kharkiv.

One missile hit the ground, damaging the facade of a dormitory and three five-story residential buildings. Windows were smashed out of the buildings, and the facades were damaged.

Another Russian missile hit the road a few dozen meters from the school.

The Kyivskyi district of the city came under Russian rocket attack.

"When you stand near this crater, you realize how different everything could have been. A few more meters, and the attack would have hit the house. A few more minutes and there would have been cars and buses on the road. It is a real miracle that there were no casualties," the mayor said.
