Russia launches widespread shelling ahead of new assault, says Ukraine

KYIV, 12 July 2022, (TON): Ukraine’s general staff said “Russia opened fire with artillery, multiple rocket launchers and tanks around Ukraine’s second-largest city Kharkiv and shelled cities in the east, where an earlier strike killed 15 people in an apartment building.”

Authorities said “an apartment building in Kharkiv was hit by a missile overnight, but no casualties have been reported.”

A rocket strike on a five-story apartment building in the eastern town of Chasiv Yar killed 15 people and left two dozen people feared trapped in the rubble.

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said “the strike was another terrorist attack and that Russia should be designated as a state sponsor of terrorism.”
