Russian Missile Strike on Ukraine: Impacts and Current Situation
On Sunday, August 17, Ukraine was once again targeted by Russian forces, as ballistic missiles were launched simultaneously from three different directions across four regions of the country.
This escalation resulted in damage to residential buildings in Kharkiv, where, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov, there are casualties and injured civilians.
The missile attack on high-rise apartments in the industrial district of the city underscored the ongoing threat to civilian populations.
Equally concerning was the incident in Sumy, where a missile hit an educational facility, raising alarms over the safety of schools and children.
Additionally, explosions were reported early in the morning in Pavlohrad.
The air raid alert, which had been in effect since last night, continues as of 23:15, indicating heightened defense readiness and emphasizing the need for citizens to stay vigilant amid potential additional attacks.
