In yet another Russian war crime, a Russian rocket hit a school in Kharkiv on the evening of Jan. 2, reported Suspilne.

The impact caused a portion of the two-story building in Kharkiv’s Osnovyanskyi district to collapse.

The explosion left a 10-meter-deep crater, which quickly filled with water. Rescuers believe that the rocket damaged the underground water supply, Suspilne wrote.

Windows were broken in at least three private homes nearby.

The invaders launched a new massive missile attack on Ukraine in several waves on the night of Jan. 2. Russia used more than 130 means of destruction: 35 Shahed drones at night, and 99 rockets in the morning.

At least one person was killed in Kharkiv and 52 injured, including six children, after Russia attacked the city with Kinzhal ballistic missiles, the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office reported.

Explosions rocked Kharkiv again in the evening of the same day. The Air Force warned about the probable use of ballistic weapons in the city.

A rocket hit a residential area in the attack. Preliminary information suggests it was a Russian C-300 missile.
