A Russian attack on the the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv has killed at least six people, including a 14-year-old girl, and wounded dozens of others, Ukrainian officials have said. “Occupiers killed a child right on the playground,” Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app on Friday. Three other people were killed in a 12-storey apartment block that caught fire as a result of the attack, he said. “Unfortunately, the death toll has risen to six people,” Kharkiv regional Governor Oleg Synegubov said in a post on Telegram hours after the attack. A 14-year-old girl was among those killed, Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said. At least 55 people were wounded, he said. A video from the site shared by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak, showed huge flames and heavy black smoke rising from the upper floors of a residential building. “Russians hit civilians again,” Yermak said on Telegram.
