A Russian missile attack killed a 10-year-old boy and his grandmother Friday in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, officials said, a day after a strike in the same region killed at least 51 civilians in one of the deadliest attacks in the war in months.
Associated Press reporters saw emergency crews pulling the boy's body from the rubble of a building after the early morning attack. He was wearing pyjamas with a Spider-Man design.He said 28 people were wounded and rescue operations were continuing.
Yevhen Shevchenko, a resident of a nearby nine-story building, said he was in bed when the attack occurred. "There was a blast wave, a powerful explosion. It blew out the windows and doors in the apartment," he said. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, attending a summit of about 50 European leaders in Spain to rally support from Ukraine's allies, called the strike a "demonstrably brutal Russian crime" and "a completely deliberate act of terrorism."
Zelenskyy is also fighting against signs that Western support for his country's war effort could be fraying.
