A Russian missile struck a direct hit at a very short distance from the Jewish school 'Or Avner Chabad' in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The powerful explosion shook the entire area and left extensive destruction within the nearby radius. According to the school's guard, the building itself did not sustain direct damage, and by the grace of heaven there are no fatalities within the educational institution's grounds. Nevertheless, rescue forces are working to extricate civilians trapped under the ruins of the nearby buildings that were hit. Volunteers from the Jewish community are taking an active part in the assistance. The attack comes as a continuation of a difficult weekend the city has experienced, which included severe strikes on residential areas. Despite the danger, Rabbi Moskowitz announced with determination: "The school will open tomorrow as usual."
