deliberately targeted. a prosecutor at the international criminal court, says he wants to investigate. this shows the aftermath of that attack in freedom square in central kharkiv. at least ten people were killed and 35 injured. an opera house and concert hall were also hit by a russian missile on tuesday morning. these pictures were filmed by local residents in kharkiv. some show what appear to be dead bodies lying on the streets. a rescue worker sent this update after the strike. translation: the regional state | administration building has been| partially destroyed as a result of an artillery strike. in buildings nearby a stairwell has collapsed and there are people under the rubble. rescue workers have recovered six people, they are about 20 injured. eight fire and rescue vehicles and about 80 personnel at the scene. the rescuers are sifting through the rubble, removing those injured and the bodies of those killed. our work is ongoing.
but i think mentally everyone already made the decision, at any cause they will defend the city, at any cause, they will defend the country. putinjust doesn t understand is, that the people will be defending the city to the last moment. and all these hundreds of tanks that are moving towards kyiv, a lot of it will be destroyed by our defence forces. and russia will pay a very heavy price. there are other kinds of resistance too. ukraine s defence ministry encouraged residents to make molotov cocktails and neutralise the enemy . molotov cocktails are firebombs and can be used as a weapon. this is in the city of lyiv civilians are making molotov cocktails here. they learnt how to do make them in 201a. one of them explained why. this was our own grassroots decision of our personnel at the brewery to do whatever we can when we can to help win this war.
the russians have significant artillery firepower, like these multiple rocket launchers seen here on a russian pre exercise in belarus, just before the invasion. devastating unguided weapons, which are now targeting urban areas. this was the effect of those rocket launchers on the city of kharkiv yesterday, when it came under russian attack. there is also reports the russians are using cluster munitions, banned by many countries including the uk. this looks like them being used in a car park, again in kharkiv yesterday. and this is a reminder of what the russian military is capable of doing, with indiscriminate air strikes and artillery, reducing the city of aleppo in syria to rubble. showing scant concern for civilian life.
the ukrainian capital. it s only moving very slowly but it seems that it is on its way here. the big question is, how soon will it actually come right to the edge of the city? this is the sixth day of russia s invasion we see notjust an armoured convoy but as you adjust mention, there s been the attack close to the tv tower and is very, very serious warning from the russian defence minister that people should move away from two key security installations or people who work in those buildings but also people in the surrounding area. you can sense the mounting anxiety here with both partners in ukraine he is saying, should we leave the city, if we leave the city is it more dangerous to be on the roads? maybe we should just stay on the ground, is that the safest place to be? these are questions being asked not just in kyiv but in kharkiv, the second largest city, to the solve,
column of russian armour on the northern approach to kyiv. a war caravan of muscovian might. if vladimir putin wants to unleash hell, he will have the tools to do it. missile strikes on the edge of the capital are just the start. translation: the night was tough, but there are currently no russian armed forces in kyiv. the enemy is trying to breach the city, unfortunately, russian sabotage groups are acting in kyiv now, several shootings have happened. by day, kyiv s defenders do what they can. the military, nervous, search for possible russian saboteurs and spies. fear, dread, hangs heavy here. the second city of kharkiv has faced russian steel already. kyiv is undoubtedly next.
