A day of mourning has been declared in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv after Russian bomb attacks resulted in the deaths of at least eight civilians, including a child in a playground. The devastating attacks took place on Friday, with six people killed and 97 others injured, including 24 children, in one of the most impactful Russian assaults on the region this summer.
Among the victims was 14-year-old Sofia, who tragically lost her life while playing in a playground. The following day, two more individuals lost their lives and at least 10 others were injured, including two children, when Russian forces targeted the Cherkaska Lozova village in Kharkiv.
