A Russian missile attack killed a 10\u002Dyear\u002Dold boy and his grandmother Friday in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv
KHARKIV, Ukraine — A Russian missile attack killed a 10-year-old boy and his grandmother Friday in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, officials said.Elsewhere in the region, villagers prepared to bury their dead after a strike the previous day killed at least 51 civilians in one of the deadliest attacks in the war in months.Associated Press reporters saw emergency crews pulling the boy’s body from the rubble of a building after the early morning attack.
Many people in the village of around 300 lost relatives or friends in the attack. They gathered to mourn in groups in the village center, which was largely deserted except for people picking up humanitarian aid, including materials to repair their damaged houses. Yevhen Shevchenko, a resident of a nearby nine-story building, said he was in bed when the attack occurred. “There was a blast wave, a powerful explosion. It blew out the windows and doors in the apartment,” he said.
The office said on X, formerly Twitter, that its human rights monitors intended to visit the site and collect information. “Accountability is key,” it said. The air defense systems are crucial as Ukrainian officials try to prevent attacks like the ones in Kharkiv and amid fears Moscow will resume concerted attacks on power facilities during the winter, in a repeat of its tactics from last year when it tried to break the Ukrainians’ morale by denying them electricity.
“We are preparing for it to be a long war, therefore we need to design our support long-term and sustainably,” Defense Minister PÃ¥l Jonson told a press conference. “It is now important that more countries step up to support Ukraine.”
