The second week of Russia's assault on Ukraine has seen increasingly deadly and apparently indiscriminate attacks on residential neighbourhoods, with the military hospital of the town of Irpin full of the wounded even as unexploded bombs lie scattered around its grounds. In neighbouring Stayanka, many Ukrainians fear they will have no choice but to defend themselves. "I know how to manipulate a weapon" Oksana Surinova says, brandishing her assault rifle as if to prove the point.

Mykolaiv, located in southern Ukraine, was shelled relentlessly overnight from Friday to Saturday. No fatalities were reported, as one hospital had already stopped keeping patients in overnight since the beginning of the war, and the second moved all patients down to the basement overnight.

The 37-year-old lives and works in Zhytomyr, a garrison town west of Kyiv. The city has suffered a series of devastating Russian strikes since the start of the war. The regional maternity hospital was badly damaged by a blast on 2 March 2022, while School Number 25 was destroyed on 4 March 2022. Zhytomyr has been spared the devastation of Ukrainian cities like Mariupol in the south, but it remains in Russia's sights as its troops attempt to encircle Kyiv from the west.

Several bombings targeted the city of Kramatorsk overnight and in the early hours of the morning, after Moscow's forces said they were shifting their military aims to target the east of Ukraine. One of these strikes damaged a school in the city centre, next to a police building around 3:00 am local time. There were several attacks on the city in the early days of the invasion, mainly targeting the airport. But this is the first attack of its kind on the city centre itself in the last four weeks. No fatalities were reported, but broken glass now lies everywhere about the building whilst a large 10 metre-wide crater smoulders right next to the school. IMAGES

But the boom of artillery fire and the wail of air raid sirens remain a stark reminder that the frontline of the war with Russia is not far away.

Galyna Chorna sobs as she recounts the Russian rocket strike that obliterated the apartments above hers, shattering her windows, her door and any inkling of safety she still clung to. The 75-year-old is the only remaining resident of her nine-storey block in Saltivka, one of Europe's largest housing estates that has been ruthlessly and relentlessly shelled by Russia since the start of its invasion of Ukraine in February. "I'm so afraid because I'm alone here -- I'm really alone. I had a daughter but she she died a year ago because she drank too much," she says, trembling despite the warm sunshine. "So now I just sit here on this bucket. When a missile comes in, then I just fall to the floor, on my front. That's why maybe I am still alive." Saltivka, in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, was once a thriving district, built in the 1960s as a "bedroom community" for Soviet industrial workers, and home to upwards of half a million people. A relentless barrage of Iskander missiles and unguided rockets began on February 26, when apartment blocks were hit at random, some destroyed and others nearby unscathed. But the longer the war has gone on, the more the neighbourhood has been pulverised, and much of it is now in ruins. Early spring was so cold that the nails on Galyna's hands and feet turned black with the beginnings of frostbite. There was no running water in the area for the first six weeks of war, and no electricity until last month. The gas returned this week. - Returning to nature - Scorched edifices overlook every street, their broken windows and the gaping holes smashed through masonry testament to the intensity of the barrage. Many of the buildings are scarred by deep fissures and look as if they are on the verge of collapse. Rusting cars with roofs pancaked by fallen masonry and twisted metal decay in the streets. Apartment blocks that have been spared are more common further into the estate but no corner is genuinely safe, due to the random nature of the shelling. Many of the attacks have been carried out using banned cluster bombs, according to Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch -- accusations the Kremlin has denied. Parts of the district have been returning to nature, grass verges waist high. With most of the children gone, the cherry trees have remained unpicked, their fruit left to drop on pavements pitted with shell craters. The residents who stayed eke out what life they can on government handouts of less than 100 dollars a month and ready meals delivered by police and charity workers. A few of Galyna's neighbours have moved into the cavernous, gloomy shelter below the local school, where the dim light from bare bulbs reveals rock-ribbed floors that kick up hazardous dust. The beds are fashioned from school desks, chairs and wooden palettes and the refugees from the chaos above hunch over saucepans of soup heated in a makeshift kitchen. Antonina Mykolaieva, 71, moved into the shelter with her husband and around 40 others when war broke out, but he died of heart failure a month later. - '70 bombs a day' - Their son, a soldier in the Soviet army, was killed decades ago when he was 21. She was unable to bury her husband in the same cemetery because it has been pulverised by shell fire. "I was always frightened when I heard banging because I was worried the block would fall down on us," she says. Oleg Synegubov, the governor of the Kharkiv region, told AFP Saltivka had been "almost completely destroyed". The most important task ahead, he said, was to ensure heating is restored before winter kicks in, when night time temperatures average about −7 Celsius (20 Fahrenheit). "But the destruction that is there, the existing damage to the buildings, will not allow them to be rebuilt to the state they were before," he said. The job of protecting residents from the elements falls partly to Volodymyr Manzhosov, a 57-year-old plumber in a council maintenance team that has been racing to replace bombed pipelines. He lives alone in Saltivka, one of five people who stayed in a 15-storey apartment block, after sending his wife and two children to the relative safety of the western city of Lviv. "The most difficult time was around March, because it was cold, and there were around 70 bombs a day across the area," he said. But he remains hopeful of a better future, with public transport and some shops in his corner returning. "I live on the ground floor so if my block is hit I will be okay," he grins. "If something happens and I find myself under the rubble, I have a bottle of water and a torch by the bed." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
