Missile barrage strikes Kharkiv after Ukraine destroys Russian convoy

Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds more wounded in a multiple rocket launcher shelling of the eastern city of Kharkiv, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry has said.

"Kharkiv has just been massively fired upon by grads (rockets). Dozens of dead and hundreds of wounded," interior ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko said in a post on Facebook.

It comes a day after footage released on social media by the chief commander of the armed forces of Ukraine appears to show a Russian missile system being destroyed by a drone.
