Shocking images and videos out of the devastated metropolis this morning showed several residential buildings on fire and rubble strewed about the streets
Russia launched a punishing wave of missile, kamikaze drone and artillery attacks on Kharkiv last night amid signs Vladimir Putin may seek to seize Ukraine 's second city.
'I didn't close my eyes, but I can't run downstairs to the basement, because I am so exhausted from yet another sleepless night.Russia struck Kharkiv and Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region, on the border with Russia, with a mass missile, drone, and artillery attack in the early hours of May 10, 2024 Olena Kurylo, who became known as the 'Face of the War' after her home was destroyed in Moscow 's initial bombardment just hours into the conflict on February 24, 2022, said residents feared this was 'the start of the Kharkiv assault'
'This is our land. This is home. There is no reason why our huge neighbour is destroying us. There is no excuse for millions of broken lives.''We all know this is exactly their aim, to exhaust us, and to make us leave the city, so they can take it.' In photos that Sinehubov posted on the Telegram messaging app, large gouts of flame can be seen shooting into the murky sky early this morning.
The overnight attack on Kharkiv came just one day after Ukraine said it was forced to limit power supplies across the country and warned of possible blackouts after a 'massive' wave of Russian missiles and drones had targeted the country's battered energy system. 'The reason for the restrictions is the shortage of electricity caused by a massive Russian missile and drone attack on energy facilities,' it added.
