A DIY store with an estimated 200 people inside has been struck by Russian missiles in Kharkiv. Ihor Terekhov, Kharkiv’s mayor, said that the missile strike had killed at least five people, with four people missing and 35 people wounded. “Judging by everything, the attack was aimed at the shopping centre, where there were many people. This is pure terrorism,” he said. Video showed flames and smoke pouring out of a large building and a body covered by a foil blanket lying in a car park.
Hundreds of thousands of people fled Kharkiv after Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022 but many returned later that year after Russian soldiers routed from the edge of the city. An hour after announcing the mid-afternoon attack on the shopping centre, Mr Terekhov also said that a Russian missile had hit a city centre park. “Another blow just hit Central Park. Information about victims and destruction is being clarified,” he said.
