A missile strike by Russia overnight hit the city centre of Kharkiv, Ukraine´s second largest city, damaging several buildings and water pipes and leaving a large crater in the road. "There is a school here, offices and residential buildings, but there cannot be military objects here because this is the central part of Kharkiv," says Kharkiv mayor Igor Terekhov. No victims were reported in the aftermath of the strike. IMAGES
Images show the aftermath of a missile that hit near a kindergarten in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine. The missile carved a huge crater in front of the kindergarten, which had some 250 pupils and 70 staff before the war broke out. Debris from the strike, which sparked a small fire in the building and smashed windows, was strewn around the playground and lay near colourful murals on a school building. IMAGES
Russia denies targeting Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, and instead accuses "missiles from foreign and Ukrainian air defence systems located in residential areas of the Ukrainian capital" of causing the damage. Critical energy infrastructure was hit in the capital yesterday and at least three people were killed. SOUNDBITE
