The attacks were directed against several districts in which residential buildings and cars were set on fire. According to the authorities, people are still under the ruins of a destroyed house. At least two people were killed and 38 were injured, including six children. Ukrainian media reported further air strikes in other parts of the country, while the mayor of Charkiw, Igor Terekow, also reported audible explosions. As early as Wednesday, fires were registered from several Ukrainian regions in connection with Russian attacks.
according to ZDF The authorities report that sixteen people were killed in Kiev, including a five-year-old child and his father. An eleven -month -old baby was also counted among the injuries. The air alarm in Kiev lasted over five hours, while the emergency services fought with massive use against the devastating fires, which raged in several residential buildings. Military administrator Timur Tkatschenko and Klitschko spoke of numerous explosions and heavy fires. The Saporischschja region was also hit by four directed slide bombs, which led to power outages in various villages.
international reactions and human rights
In view of the worldwide concern about the repeated attacks on civilians, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha Russia accused targeted attacks on civilians. The situation in Ukraine reflects a more comprehensive global problem, which is discussed by the organization Amnesty International in its current annual report. The report states that the number of civilian victims in armed conflicts rose to over 22,000 in 2023. This is more than twice the number of 2021. The increase is often due to military attacks in inhabited areas that often disregard humanitarian international law.General Secretary Agnes Callamard compares the current situation before 1948 when there was no generally recognized human rights. The increase in authoritarian tendencies and the influence of unregulated technologies on society is also considered worrying. In this context, the ongoing climate -related and humanitarian crises in other countries such as Sudan and the Gaza Strip are also listed as an example of the need for effective legal protection of human rights.
The international community faces the challenge of reacting to the ongoing human rights violations in conflict areas and the dangers of violating the rights in peaceful societies. Germany, for example, participates in an air bridge to supply people in Gaza, while reports on increased anti -Semitism and other forms of discrimination shape the German political discourse.
