KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — New Russian strikes in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv have hit high-rise apartment buildings. Officials say the second consecutive night of attacks left at least 21 wounded. Kharkiv’s city council said 18 buildings were damaged. Ukraine’s second-largest city has been a frequent target of Russian attacks. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strike and urged Kyiv’s Western allies to send more weapons to help it “protect lives and ensure safety.” He said that Ukraine needs full long-range capabilities. Moscow said Sunday that a firefighter was killed and two others were injured by a Ukrainian drone in the Russia-occupied Luhansk province in eastern Ukraine.
