Russian troops attacked a residential neighborhood in Kharkiv on March 27, killing one civilian man and injuring at least 18 other people, including four children, Kharkiv Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported.
The Shevchenkivskyi district of the city came under two Russian strikes, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov said. For the first time, Kharkiv was attacked with a large-caliber guided munition, according to preliminary data, published by the governor.
Two five-story and four-story residential buildings, as well as three cars, were damaged, State Emergency Service said. The Institute of Emergency Surgery was damaged too, Terekhov reported.
Children aged between three months and 13 years are among the wounded, Syniehubov said.
Kharkiv has been at the forefront of Russian strikes since the outbreak of the full-scale invasion. It came under several deadly attacks over the winter as Russia launched mass missile strikes against Ukraine.
Moscow has recently intensified its attacks against Ukraine's critical infrastructure, destroying a thermal power plant and all the electrical substations in Kharkiv, according Terekhov.
As of March 25, about 200,000 households in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-biggest city, were left without electricity, Syniehubov said.
