Russia's Attacks on Ukrainian Civilians: 17 Injured in Kharkiv

Russian Strikes Hit Civilian Targets in Ukraine, Leaving 17 Injured June 5, 2025 - Russia launched a series of attacks in Odessa and Kharkiv, Ukraine this morning, targeting residential and civilian buildings. The attacks resulted in injuries, with at least seventeen people, including children, wounded in Kharkiv. Footage shows significant damage to buildings in both cities. "This was a civilian municipality building inside of Kherson," says Joey Contino, a journalist covering the conflict. "This was the second time they hit it today." Contino's video also shows damage to clinics and youth centers in Odessa. The attacks stand in contrast to Ukraine's stated policy of targeting only military objectives. The incident underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and the devastating impact of the conflict on civilians.
