KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces have struck a residential building in Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv, killing three, including two teenage boys, and injuring scores of others. The region’s governor says a 12-year-old boy was fatally injured when the building was hit by a Russian 500-kilogram glide bomb early Thursday. He said that the rescuers later also retrieved the bodies of a 15-year-old-boy and an unidentified man from the rubble. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said at least 35 people were injured in the attack. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy published a video showing the ravaged building, at least three of its floors destroyed and the rest of it seriously damaged, and urged Ukraine’s Western allies to ramp up military assistance for his country.
