Second Holocaust memorial Ukraine reported to have been damaged in Russian attack

A second Holocaust memorial in Ukraine is reported to have been damaged by the Russian assault in the country.

The memorial at Drobitsky Yar on the outskirts of the northeast city of Kharkiv, where at 11,000 Jews were shot and buried in a mass grave in 1942, was hit by artillery.

Earlier this month the site at Babyn Yar, commemorating the massacre of 33,000 Jews in 1941, was struck by a Russian bomb.
