Russian Guided Bomb Hits Central Kharkiv Street, Killing Two

A Russian guided aerial bomb struck a main road in central Kharkiv on Thursday, killing at least two people and wounding eight others. The attack targeted the Shevchenkivskyi district. Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, reported the strike hit civilian vehicles, leaving them in flames. Emergency services rushed to the scene. Guided bombs are advanced weapons that can be directed to a target with high accuracy. Their increased use has marked a deadly shift in Russia's ongoing assault on Ukraine's second-largest city. The strike on a central urban roadway underscores the continuing threat to civilians in Kharkiv, which lies close to the Russian border and faces near-daily attacks.
