A Russian strike on a crowded DIY hardware store in Kharkiv killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens more,officials said on Sunday, the death toll rising as the country’s second-largest city reeled from two attacks a day earlier.
President Volodymyr Zelensky and the local prosecutors’ office said 14 people died, with 44 injured. Prosecutors said 11 of the dead had been identified and seven people were missing.Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said about 120 people had been in the hardware store when the bombs struck. President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a plea to Ukraine’s Western allies to help boost air defences to keep the country’s cities safe. French President Emmanuel Macron, writing on social media platform X, denounced the attack on the store as “unacceptable.”
Emergency workers ushered away residents of nearby apartment buildings. Some of the injured had blood on their faces. Rescuers, medics and journalists occasionally had to rush away from the scene of both strikes on the city and take cover on the ground, fearing another strike, as has occurred during several recent Russian attacks.“I was at my workplace. I heard the first hit and … with my colleague, we fell to the ground. There was the second hit and we were covered with debris. Then we started to crawl to the higher ground,” said Syrotenko, who had a large gash on his face.
