　　On October 6, 2023, a 10-year-old boy and his grandmother were killed in a Russian missile attack in Kharkiv, eastern Ukraine. The 10-year-old boy was killed when a Russian missile attack struck a residential building in the center of the city of Kharkiv. Paramedics took the body of the 10-year-old boy into custody.

　In the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, a Russian missile attack killed a 10-year-old boy and his grandmother. Elsewhere in the same region, at least about 52 civilians were killed in an attack the previous day. Citizens were preparing to bury the dead after one of the deadliest attacks in recent months, when paramedics pulled the boy's body from the rubble of a building after a Russian missile strike in the early morning hours of October 6. The boy was wearing pajamas with a Spiderman design.

　The missile strike also killed the boy's grandmother and injured her 11-month-old child. In the city of Kharkov, one of the missiles fired early in the morning of October 6 landed on a street, leaving a crater, and another hit a residential building and caught fire. Kharkov Oblast authorities said that about 30 people were killed or wounded in the entire Russian military attack. Rescue efforts are continuing. Ukrainian military officials reported that the Russians attacked with two Iskander missiles.

　Ukrainian officials said that the previous day, October 5, Russian Iskander ballistic missiles with accuracy and destructive power had reduced a cafe and store in the eastern Ukrainian village of Khoroza (Hroza) to rubble, killing at least about 51 civilians. About 60 people, including children, were attending a wake at the cafe when the missile hit. A Ukrainian soldier, Andrei Kozyr, was killed in action, and a Russian missile hit the funeral in the cafe where Khoroza villagers were mourning his death. In an instant, the Russians killed Kozyr's widow, daughter, son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law's parents, uncle, aunt, and other relatives. One Russian missile killed one-sixth of the village's population.
