I see some people mentioning thermobaric. This does not look like a thermobaric weapon to me and thermobaric weapons used by Russia are fired in volleys.
This rather compares to a Beirut blast-type explosion (which is not better). Lots of explosives detonated at once by an initial detonation.
Another view from Chuguev - this is possibly the airport
This video is said to be from Saltivka in the northern outskirts of Kharkiv. Multiple-launch rocket systems being used, possibly with cluster ammo. #Russia#Ukraine
I think it's clear from today's bombing of Kharkiv this morning and tonight that we've moved to a far more dangerous phase of the conflict.
Kharkiv
Again those aren't meant to target specific military targets, but to "punish" the city and force its surrender.
As a Presidential advisor to Zelensky said, #Russia's mask is coming off.

I was not able to confirm this (unsurprisingly) but yesterday there were reports that a Ukrainian force carried out an attack behind enemy lines, in the village of Dytyatky, near Chernobyl, taking aim at the command post of #Russia's Eastern Military District forces.
Poll in #Ukraine (Rating Group): 88% of Ukrainians believe the country will be able to repel the Russian invasion.
At 12:00 last night Ukrainian authorities reported that #Belarusian forces are in a state of high combat readiness and concentrating along the border of #Ukraine.
#Ukraine's intelligence shows significant aerial activity in #Belarus, as well as the movement of supply convoys of ammunitions and food
This is because this city, which is just a few kilometers away has been resisting since the very first day of the Russian offensive.
#Russia's failure to capture it is also one of the key elements explaining the relatively limited advances in the east/center. I think Russia expected that the city would quickly fall, the Sumy-Kharkiv line being broken, which would lead advances towards Dnipro.
Russia had amassed a significant force opposite Kharkiv, but the city still holds, which is key to the broader Ukrainian ability to delay the Russian advances, and avoid being dealt a killing blow.
The #Russian ministry of defense said that it will strike facilities belonging to the #Ukrainian security service, and the 72d center of special operations in Kyiv, claiming that those are responsible for cyber attacks.
The Russian ministry of defense is calling on residents of Kyiv living near these facilities to leave.
The #Russian Foreign Ministry says that a flight transporting a Russian delegation, headed by Sergei Lavrov, to Geneva was banned by Estonia and Poland
Ukrainian news outlet (UNIAN) reports that a fake recording of Zelensky stating that a surrender has been signed in Kyiv was aired in Kherson, in southern #Ukraine
