Welcome to our coverage
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city and just a few dozen kilometers from the Russian border, has endured relentless shelling throughout more than three years of war.
But last night's assault, described by the city's mayor as the "most powerful attack" since the full-scale invasion began, marks a grim new chapter.
In this blog, we'll bring you the latest updates on the strike and its aftermath—likely part of Russia's response to Ukraine's daring attack on a Russian bomber fleet last week.
We're also monitoring reports of a possible prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia expected later today. If that happens, we will bring you the details here.
