Video footage showed huge clouds of dark smoke rising into the sky from the site, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemning the strikes as a 'brutal attack'.
At least two people have been killed after a crowded DIY store in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv was hit by Russian strikes, regional officials say. Two guided bombs hit the hypermarket, wounding many more and triggering a huge blaze that fire crews were battling to contain, Kharkiv regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said via the Telegram messaging app.
There was the second hit and we were covered with debris. Then we started to crawl to the higher ground.' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strikes as a 'brutal attack' and issued a fresh plea for more air defence to be able to protect the city of about 1.3 million people. 'This is a task that must be accomplished and can only be accomplished together with the world,' he said.
