"Those are ordinary sites of peaceful life - those that should never be targeted," Terekhov wrote on Telegram.
Two people were confirmed killed and at least 57 injured, including seven children, according to the regional head Oleh Syniehubov.
Live Events
Emergency crews, municipal workers and volunteers worked through the night to extinguish fires, rescue residents from burning homes, and restore gas, electricity and water service.
The strikes also caused widespread destruction in the Slobidskyi and Osnovianskyi districts, hitting apartment buildings, private homes, playgrounds, industrial sites and public transport. Images from the scene published by Ukraine's Emergency Service on Telegram showed burning apartments, shattered windows and firefighters battling the blaze.
Kharkiv has been targeted frequently in recent months as Russian launches intense drone and missile attacks on civilian infrastructure.
"We stand strong. We help one another. And we will endure," Terekhov said. "Kharkiv is Ukraine. And it cannot be broken."

Trump teases 'Gold card' for US residency again as skepticism mounts
TOI correspondent from Washington: MAGA supremo Donald Trump once again teased the imminent arrival of "Trump GoldCard," with his minions claiming millions of foreigners are waiting to fork out $5 million each to buy American residency and a path to citizenship. Almost 15 weeks after he announced the new visa program would be rolled out in two weeks, Trump unveiled a sketchy website that merely said that "The Trump Card is Coming" and asked those interested to "Enter your information below to be notified the moment access opens." There was no date and no details of the program. Patchy details previously announced by the administration said the program, intended to replace the existing EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, is aimed at granting permanent US residency and a "potential path" to citizenship for wealthy foreigners with a "gold car" on payment of $5 million. Unlike the EB-5 program, which requires investments in job-creating businesses, the Gold Card, now dubbed "Trump Card" appears to involve a straightforward $5 million payment without specific job creation requirements Trump and his lackeys have thrown out fantastic numbers, talking up the prospect of attracting more than 1 million foreigners paying $5 million each to generate $5 trillion, a sum that could pay down the country's mounting debt that now stands at $36 trillion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo While MAGA diehards seem resentful of US citizenship sold in such a crass manner to foreigners, others are fantasizing about millions of foreigners paying off the US debt and creating a surplus. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed in March that he had "sold" 1,000 cards (in the yet to be rolled out program), generating $5 billion, and that Elon Musk "is building the software right now" for the application process. But there is widespread skepticism, about both the legitimacy of the programs and the tall numbers, with some experts estimating that only 20,000–30,000 non-American centimillionaires (with a net worth of $100 million and above) globally could afford the $5 million fee, far below the 1 million targeted by Trump. There is a ceiling of 10,000 visas annually for the existing EB-5 program and even that, requiring an investment of only around 1 million, is not filled in some years. Trump has announced that there will be no ceiling on the so-called Gold Card. In further sweeteners to 'wealthy and successful' individuals Trump hopes to attract to the US from across the world, he has said they would not be required to pay taxes on their global income. US lawmakers, including some Republicans, are also in a wait and watch, arguing that creating a new visa category requires congressional legislation, a power reserved for Congress under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The executive branch, they maintain, cannot unilaterally grant permanent residency or alter tax laws for foreigners. MAGA diehards have more fundamental concerns -- about a US overrun by wealthy foreigners replacing poor immigrants.

Fraudster held by Odisha EOW for duping crores from lakhs of investors across India
Bhubaneswar, June 12 (UNI) The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Odisha Crime Branch has arrested a fraudster, Jitendra Mallick, from Bengaluru for allegedly collecting crores of rupees from lakhs of investors across the country. EOW sources said on Thursday that Mallick was produced before the Designated Court under the OPID Act in Berhampur on June 9 and was taken on police remand. He was arrested based on an FIR registered following a complaint from over 800 duped investors from the Ganjam district. Allegedly, the complainants, along with lakhs of others across various states in India, were induced to invest in with promises of high returns. The investors were lured with promises of attractive benefits such as 3 percent daily compound returns on investment,recharge bonuses, referral bonuses, extra bonuses from the earnings of downline members, salary bonuses, and daily withdrawal options The fraudsters reportedly collected crores of rupees nationwide. While the promised returns were paid for the initial few days, the payouts eventually stopped as the number of members grew, and the app was subsequently shut down. According to the EOW, the accused, Jitendra Mallick, was responsible for promoting and publicizing in Ganjam and across Odisha. He enrolled many new investors and organized meetings at various hotels in Berhampur and Bhubaneswar. Mallick was also reportedly linked to a foreign national, George Enzo, who managed the group on WhatsApp and Telegram. Investigation revealed that an amount of Rs. 21,05,836 was credited to Jitendra Mallick's HDFC Bank account by his downline members. Other bank accounts linked to the accused are under scrutiny. The scammers allegedly used multiple shell companies and fake firms, along with their directors, to launder the money. They also operated mule accounts to create complex layers of transactions to evade law enforcement detection. During the investigation, a total of Rs. 1.25 crore lying in suspicious accounts has been frozen. Earlier, four individuals were arrested in connection with the case from West Bengal, Rajasthan, and Kerala. They remain in judicial custody. A Look Out Circular has also been issued against Md. Saif, a Dubai-based operator and promoter of this scam. The fraud has nationwide ramifications, and the total amount involved is suspected to exceed Rs. 1,000 crore, of which the EOW has so far traced transactions amounting to approximately Rs. 446 crore. The investigation is ongoing. UNI DP BD

Trump Brings Mar-a-Lago to D.C. — Rose Garden lawn torn up for new patio and towering Presidential flagpole
Donald Trump is making a new mark on the White House lawn, and it's raising questions. The president has begun tearing down the historic Rose Garden to create a more "functional" space that echoes the aesthetic of his private Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago. President Donald Trump is transforming the iconic White House Rose Garden into a Mar-a-Lago-style patio with two towering flagpoles. Critics argue that the historic lawn is being erased in favor of Trump's personal style and agenda. According to a report by the Daily Beast, bulldozers have begun tearing up the grass and laying the groundwork for a new flagpole, fulfilling President Donald Trump's intention to install a patio in the Mar-a-Lago style. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Schlechter Stuhlgang? Diese Methode funktioniert wie "auf Knopfdruck" Darmschutz Ratgeber Undo Why is Donald Trump tearing up the Rose Garden lawn? According to the AP, Trump approached reporters to check the work and informed them that he was erecting two "beautiful" flagpoles that he had "paid for" because the grounds "needed flagpoles for 200 years." The American flag and the POW/MIA flag are already flown daily from the White House's roof. Live Events The president had already declared in mid-February that he would remove the Rose Garden lawn, which frequently serves as the location for press conferences, award presentations, bill-signing ceremonies, and formal dinners. Later, he clarified that it was because women found it difficult to walk in high heels on the wet grass. During a March White House tour, he told Fox News that the grass just doesn't work when they use it for press conferences; people fall into the wet grass.

There are two rose gardens at the White House, the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden , which is south of the East Terrace Colonnade, and the Rose Garden, which is situated along the West Wing. Former First Lady Edith Roosevelt redesigned both flagpoles for the Kennedys in the early 1960s, following their original design in 1903. According to Rose Garden designer Rachel Lambert Mellon, President John F. Kennedy had the idea to revitalize the Rose Garden and turn the lawn that Trump is razing into a venue for formal events. What changes are being made to the White House grounds? Trump has promised to construct a $100 million ballroom that is comparable to the Grand Ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, the president's private club in Palm Beach, Florida, besides renovating the garden. To honor John F. Kennedy Jr., a big magnolia tree was chopped down and replaced with a smaller one outside the Oval Office window last month. The renovation project was started on Monday by staff from the National Park Service, which looks after the White House grounds. According to the Associated Press, they anticipate wrapping up sometime in the first half of August. FAQs Why is President Trump rebuilding the Rose Garden? Donald Trump claims wet grass made it difficult for women wearing heels and wants a more usable, Mar-a-Lago-inspired space. What else is changing? Along with a new patio and flagpoles, Donald Trump intends to construct a $100 million ballroom and has already replaced a historic magnolia tree .
