Ukrainian father holds the hand of his dead son.
Three Ukrainians were killed in a Russian airstrike on Wednesday, including a 13-year-old boy, who is seen dead on the ground as his father grabs his hand.
The victims, who were not immediately identified, were killed as Russia bombarded the northeastern city of Kharkiv with Hurricane missile systems.
The dead teenager’s 15-year-old sister was also injured in the attack, according to the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
One photo showed the dismembered father holding his dead son’s hand as the body was draped in front of a destroyed bus shelter.
Another disturbing picture showed two other men moving the boy’s corpse.
A 69-year-old man and his wife were also killed in the attack, authorities said.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces struck and severely damaged a key supply bridge for Russian troops in the southern part of the country, a regional official said on Wednesday.
The shelling of the bridge marked the second attack in as many days. Moscow-backed authorities in Kherson said it had been damaged on Tuesday.
