Exploding in a giant fireball, a cruise missile struck the imposing Soviet-era structure at 8.02am yesterday – engulfing local government offices and devastating a nearby opera house, concert hall and university buildings.The horrifying attack – condemned by ’s president Volodymyr as a ‘war ’ – killed at least ten people and injured more than 20 as ceilings collapsed while all the windows were blown out on to the second-largest city square in Europe.It left a large crater in this celebrated Kharkiv landmark – where just a few weeks ago, I watched children happily skating as I spoke to people in a cafe about the threat of war.
