Russia struck a residential building in Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, early on October 31, killing three people and wounding at least 36. Two boys, aged 11 and 15, were among the dead, officials said. RFE/RL spoke with the aunt of one of the victims.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has reiterated his call on Ukraine's allies to allow Ukraine to use advanced Western weapons to hit deeper inside Russia in the aftermath of a Russian strike on Kharkiv that left three people dead and at least 36 wounded. Two boys, aged 11 and 15, were among the dead, authorities reported. Russian forces reportedly used an FAB-500 guided aerial bomb to strike the nine-story apartment building in Ukraine's second-largest city. Guided aerial bombs are powerful weapons that Russia has been increasingly using to hit civilian targets inside Ukraine. The strike on Kharkiv was the third one this week. At least four other people were killed in the previous two strikes on the city center and the Osnovyanskiy district that used guided aerial bombs and missiles.
