Two buildings in the residential area and a 6-storey university building were damaged in the airstrike carried out by Russia in Kharkiv, eastern Ukraine. One killed and 11 others were injured in the attack, Ukraine Emergency Service stated. The fire in two buildings after the attack was extinguished by the firefighters, and that efforts to rescue a person trapped under the rubble continue, authorities added.
Speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, King Abdullah II of Jordan warned that Israel’s expansion of its offensive to include Iran threatens global security, stating, “It is impossible to say where the borders of this battlefield will end. This is a threat to people all over the world.”
He strongly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying, “Today, the world is in a state of moral collapse. What was once seen as an atrocity—like the bombing of a hospital—has become commonplace. Since then, the WHO has documented nearly 700 attacks on Gaza’s healthcare facilities.”
“The targeting of civilians, health workers, and journalists has become routine. Famine is being used as a weapon against children,” he added.
King Abdullah called on the international community to act not only in Ukraine but also in Palestine: “The world’s longest and most destructive conflict must end. Palestinians deserve freedom, sovereignty, and statehood, like all people.”
He warned that without decisive action, Israeli bulldozers “will also flatten the borders that define moral conduct.” Reaffirming Jordan’s commitment to peace, he said the only solution lies in a just peace based on international law and mutual recognition.
