October 22nd 2023.
Last night, tragedy struck the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv as a Russian missile attack on a postal centre left six people dead and at least fourteen injured. President Volodymyr Zelensky took to Telegram to express his sorrow and share a video of the damage caused by the attack.
Oleh Synehubov, the governor of the Kharkiv region, also posted on Telegram and reported that the victims were employees of the postal centre, caught unawares by the siren that sounded only a second before the missile hit. Ukrainian rescuers are now trying to locate any survivors.
The attack left 22 people in the terminal at the Korotych settlement near Kharkiv, with six people killed and sixteen injured. Police are conducting an examination of the dead with the help of criminologists and forensic experts. Syniehubov reported that the victims were aged between 19 and 42, and some had shrapnel wounds. He also called out the Russian attack, emphasizing that the private delivery company was a strictly civilian site.
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. In President Zelensky’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih, a sixty-year-old man died when a Russian missile hit an industrial facility, and his wife was taken to the hospital with serious shrapnel wounds. In Ukraine’s Kherson region, another civilian was killed and a second suffered wounds as Russian troops used tanks, mortars, multiple-rocket launchers, artillery and drones to target residential areas.
The senseless loss of life in the wake of the Russian missile attack in Kharkiv is heartbreaking. We hope that the Ukrainian rescuers are able to find any survivors, and that the victims' families will find comfort in this difficult time.
