KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian strikes have hit high-rise apartment blocks in Ukraine’s city of Kharkiv, leaving dozens wounded in a second consecutive nighttime attack this past week. The local governor says nine residential buildings sustained varying degrees of damage, including 16- and nine-story blocks. Twenty-one people were wounded, including an 8-year-old. The attack came after another late Friday that wounded 15 people as Russian airstrikes hit three Kharkiv neighborhoods. According to Ukrainian officials, aerial glide bombs were used in both attacks. Kharkiv has been a frequent target of Russian attacks since Moscow launched its all-out invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
