KYIV (Reuters) – A Russian missile strike damaged an apartment bloc and administrative buildings, killing four people and injuring at least 20 in the town of Izium in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region, the regional governor said on Tuesday.
Russian forces hit the town’s central district using a ballistic missile, governor Oleh Syniehubov said on Telegram citing preliminary information.
Rescuers were working at the site and at least one person was trapped under the ruble, he added.
A five-storey residential block was damaged and several administrative buildings were partially destroyed as a result of the strike, according to Syniehubov.
Kharkiv region, bordering Russia, regularly comes under Russian air attacks.
