Russian Attacks Kill Family in Kharkiv

Russian aerial attacks have returned to Ukraine. A recent strike in the Kharkiv region killed three young children and their father. The children's pregnant mother was also injured. This happened just hours after the family moved to a new home. They had left their old home because of constant shelling. The attack shows the war is becoming more violent. Russia seems to have stopped its recent pause in attacks.

The family, Hryhoriy and his three children, died in Bohodukhiv. This town in Kharkiv has been attacked almost every day. The governor called the strike "brutal." He said it was the family's first night in their new home. The mother, Olha, had minor burns but survived.

These attacks are part of more Russian bombing across Ukraine. Earlier this week, Slovyansk was also attacked. Seven bombs killed three people, including an 11-year-old girl. The day before, two people died in Bohodukhiv. These attacks are worse than before.

The new attacks suggest Russia is changing its plan. They may want to put more pressure on Ukraine. Attacks on homes, where families are trying to be safe, show they do not care about civilians. Families like Hryhoriy's have to leave their homes. Then they are killed in new attacks. The world is still trying to find ways to stop the violence and protect people.
