Dozens of schools hit in Kharkiv-Ukraine second city: NGO
Women stand in front of a destroyed school building following a missile strike in Druzhkivka, Donetsk region on August 30, 2022, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The new school year in Ukraine starts on Thursday but dozens of educational facilities in the war-torn country's second city, Kharkiv, have been damaged by Russian shelling, a British charity said.
The UK-based Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), a non-governmental organisation, said it verified 41 institutions that have been "partially or completely destroyed" in the city "under almost permanent" shelling since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
