Russia strikes on Kharkiv kill three, injure 17, Ukraine says

Russia intensified missile strikes on Ukrainian cities causing injuries and widespread damage as peace talks approached, aiming to pressure Ukraine into a less favorable agreement, officials said.

  • On August 17, 2025, Russia fired a ballistic missile at a residential area in Kharkiv, killing three and injuring at least 17 people, including a 13-year-old girl.
  • This strike came after several months of increased Russian drone and missile assaults following the beginning of Moscow's large-scale military action in February 2022.
  • The missile damaged around a dozen apartment buildings, shattered more than 1,000 windows, damaged five vehicles, and forced some residents to evacuate.
  • The continuing attacks underscore ongoing violence despite diplomatic efforts and international pressure for a swift resolution to the conflict.
