Russia strikes apartment block in Kharkiv, killing three and injuring 31 during UN General Assembly discussions

The strike, which targeted civilian infrastructure, including a bakery and a stadium, was condemned by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who emphasized the need for collective security and an end to such acts of terror. Local officials reported significant damage to the apartment building, which had recently undergone repairs following previous attacks. This incident underscores the persistent threat faced by civilians in Kharkiv and other regions of Ukraine, where Russian forces continue to use guided bombs, often striking densely populated areas. Ukrainian officials are advocating for increased support from allies to target military assets within Russia to mitigate further civilian casualties.
