Three children are among nine people who were killed when Russian forces shelled parts of Ukraine's second largest city - with footage showing a series of explosions outside an apartment building.
A harrowing sound can be heard as the explosives lash the ground in quick succession outside the building in southeastern Kharkiv.
One of the explosives hits a car and causes it to catch to fire.

It is not clear what type of attack is taking place, but it comes as suspected cluster munitions have struck several buildings in Kharkiv.
Ihor Terekhov, the mayor of the city, said nine people had died and 37 were injured as a result of shelling there.
Cluster munition?
Sky News has pinpointed two separate videos to northeastern Kharkiv and a military expert said the shelling appears to be the classic pattern for a cluster munition.
Cluster munitions are a form of air-dropped or ground-launched explosive weapon that releases or ejects smaller submunitions - with the explosive bomblets designed to kill personnel and destroy vehicles.
A clip posted to social media shows multiple explosions striking a building in quick succession.
Footage captures the harrowing sound of the shelling as smoke fills the surrounding area.
