Russia attacked Kharkiv with guided bombs on the evening of Sept. 20, wounding at least 15 people, said Mayor Ihor Terekhov.

Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, is routinely attacked by Russia, regularly resulting in civilian casualties and damage to the city.

According to the Kharkiv Oblast Prosecutor's Office, Russian Su-34 jets launched three guided bombs from across the border in Russia's Belgorod Oblast.

The bombs struck locations across the city, including homes, a highway near a hospital, and businesses.

The prosecutor's office shared a video that shows the moment the bombs struck.

The prosecutor's office clarified that two of the children were being treated for stress-related injuries.

On Sept. 15, a Russian attack on Kharkiv struck a high-rise building, killing a 94-year-old woman. Another 42 people were injured in the attack.
