A Russian ballistic missile struck a residential neighborhood in Kharkiv late Sunday, wounding at least 11 people, according to regional governor Oleh Synehubov. Emergency services said the blast shattered windows and forced evacuations in surrounding apartment blocks; a 13-year-old girl was among those hurt. Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city near the Russian border, has endured regular missile and drone attacks since Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. Images from the scene showed medics treating residents on the street while rescuers inspected damaged buildings for additional victims. The strike came less than 48 hours after U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska for talks aimed at ending the war. Kyiv and Moscow have traded accusations over civilian casualties throughout the conflict. Russia did not immediately comment on the latest attack, and Reuters said it could not independently verify the type of weapon used.
