Twin Russian missile strikes on Kharkiv injure 21

Twin Russian missile strikes on central Kharkiv on Saturday injured at least 21 people, Ukrainian officials said.
The Kharkiv regional chief prosecutor said two boys aged 14 and 16 and a security advisor for a team of German journalists were among those injured. The missiles came from the direction of Belgorod, Russia, he added.
Russian officials said a Ukrainian attack on the provincial capital of Belgorod hours earlier killed 18 people and injured 111.
That came a day after Russia’s biggest air assault of the war, in which Ukrainian officials said at least 40 civilians were killed and 159 wounded in 158 missile and drone attacks across the country.
The head of the regional police in Kharkiv, Volodymyr Tymoshenko, said preliminary evidence suggested Russia had used S-300 missiles as surface-to-surface weapons to hit Kharkiv.
