Russian attack hits Harkiv hospital, 62 injured

A Russian attack on a hospital in Kharkiv resulted in 62 injuries and the transfer of 226 patients to other facilities. The strike damaged a healthcare building, four residential buildings, and ten cars, breaking approximately 1,000 windows. Rescue and damage control efforts are ongoing. The coordinated assault involved ballistic missiles and glide bombs. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city with a population of about 1.4 million, is located just 30 kilometers from the Russian border. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have targeted Ukrainian energy facilities in the region. Hours before the attack, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of preparations for a large-scale Russian offensive, suggesting Moscow might exploit international attention on the U.S. midterm elections.
