Mourners gathered at a cemetery in Kharkiv on Sunday to lay to rest three Ukrainian emergency workers who were killed in a Russian secondary strike. The rescuers had responded to an initial attack on a residential area, only to be targeted by a second missile as they worked to save lives. The attack, which also injured several others, has drawn condemnation from Ukrainian officials who describe it as a deliberate violation of the laws of war. The funerals were solemn events, with colleagues and family members paying their respects to those who died while trying to help others.
