A disabled care home with 330 residents in the town of Oskil, near Kharkiv, was bombed today by Russian warplanes which have also been targeting local schools, according to city officials. Oleg Sinegubov said 63 of the care home's residents have been evacuated since the bombing, but could not give an update on the other 267. It came as Russia also bombed civilian targets in the city of Dnipro, hundreds of miles to the south (right), which destroyed a shoe factory and killed at least one civilian. Ukraine says Russian attacks have now killed more civilians than soldiers - without giving an exact figure for either - as the Kremlin's generals pivot from shock-and-awe-style precision strikes to 'medieval' siege warfare. But Ukrainian forces continue to fight back, as footage revealed another of Putin's attack helicopters being shot out of the sky (left) while successful counter-attacks took place around the northern city of Chernihiv, capturing five villages after Russian units took such heavy casualties that they were no longer able to attack effectively. Another successful counter-attack in the same region took place on Thursday, while a third a counter-attack to the west of Kyiv on the same day ground a Russian offensive to a halt.
