RUSSIAN bombs struck a block of flats in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, killing at least one person and wounding nine, including a six-year-old child, authorities said.
A body was pulled from the rubble hours after the attack, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said on Telegram. He said that the bombs slammed into the low-rise building in Kharkiv’s Kholodnohirskiy district in the early hours of Saturday.
Also, on Saturday, Russia again launched guided bombs at Ukraine, striking the outskirts of the northern city of Sumy, according to local administration head Oleh Hryhorov.
The attacks killed a man and damaged at least 20 houses, Mr Hryhorov said on Telegram.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky was stripped of Poland’s highest honour on Saturday.
Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki decided to strip Mr Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle over the latter’s decision to rename a military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which massacred hundreds of thousands of Poles and Jews when operating in alliance with Nazi Germany during World War II.
