*This clip describes upsetting scenes* Russian missiles and rockets have hit the cultural heart of Ukraine's second-largest city in what officials said was a deadly and "cruel" attack. An opera house, concert hall, and government offices were hit in Freedom Square, in the centre of the north-eastern city Kharkiv. A resident of Kharkiv tells Newshour's James Coomarasamy what sheltering in the centre of Kharkiv with her family during Russian attacks on the city was like. She says she can hear the bombs, and believes they are bombing the area of the suburbs where her parents live. She tearfully recounts what she has heard about the attacks, and says she does not understand why Putin and the Russian government are invading her country.
