Russian attack destroys Ukrainian library

Ukraine experienced a Russian attack that resulted in the burning of approximately 8 million books, including textbooks for children, in a warehouse in Kharkiv. This is the largest loss faced by a publishing facility since the start of the war in 2022. The strike caused a raging fire that is still ongoing, and was preceded by an attack on another warehouse near Kyiv, where 800,000 books were burned. The attack is seen as an attempt to destroy Ukrainian culture and education, with Kyiv accusing Russia of deliberately targeting publishers as part of its military escalation.
