On the afternoon of April 17th 2022, Russia allegedly fired artillery in the city center of Kharkiv, killing at least five civilians and injuring at least 10 civilians, including a woman.<\/p>\n
Despite the preliminary estimates, most reports set the number of civilian deaths at 5 and of injured at 13, while others reported up to 6 dead and 24 injured.<\/p>\n
A female volunteer was quoted by XC_Kharkiv on Telegram after sustaining an eye injury from the shelling: “A small fragment in the eye, which the military washed out on the spot and made sure that I could move. I can see well. The ringing in the ears has almost stopped, but no communication until tomorrow. I will run tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Telegram post by Truexa News UA reported that an elderly woman who was feeding the cats in the park was killed, along with a video showing their body.<\/p>\n
A tweet from @_hello_dears_ identified cluster bombs as being used in the shelling, adding that shells hit an \u201cinstitute\u201d where people were hiding and killed one of the employees.<\/p>\n
The shelling seemingly occurred around 1.25 p.m. local time in the districts of Kyiv and Shevchenkiv. Twitter user @_A_Vit_ commented: \u201cThe Russian army is purposefully shelling residential areas in order to destroy the Ukrainian people\u201d. As a result of the shelling, \u201cA number of residential buildings, institutes and infrastructure objects of the city were damaged\u201d, Prokuratura_kharkiv reported on Telegram.<\/p>\n
There are no other details at this time.<\/p>\n
