Russian forces dropped two glide bombs on Ukraine’s second city Kharkiv on Saturday, which hit the Epitsentr construction hypermarket during it’s busiest time. According to the Ukrainian authorities, there could have been as many as 200 people inside the building when the bombs struck it. Immediately after the impact, a fire broke out in the shopping centre, which engulfed the entire shopping complex. Nineteen people have now been confirmed dead, and another 54 injured. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the Russian military struck the city again, this time targeting a residential area in the centre of Kharkiv and injuring 14.
