Kharkiv school damaged by Russian missiles
STORY: Two-hundred-and-sixty children attended the school, located in the east of Kharkiv.
The shelling left no casualties but damaged windows and doors as well as the school equipment.
Alla Danylchuk, a chemistry teacher, had a hard time holding the tears as she saw what happened to the school she taught at for 30 years.
“I think this is how they destroy our nation," she said. "So that our children… So that our children don’t exist, so that we don’t exist and teach.”
One student's mother said "only beasts" could launch missiles at a school.
Russian forces have been pounding Kharkiv for two weeks.
Regional authorities said apartment buildings and schools have been targeted, with civilians killed.
Russia renewed its shelling of the city and the surrounding countryside in what Kyiv says is a bid to force Ukraine to pull resources from the main battlefield in Donbas to protect civilians from attack.
Russia denies targeting civilians in what it calls a "special military operation" to demilitarise and "denazify" Ukraine.
