At least two women were killed and 35 people, including children, were injured following Russia's strike on a multi-story building in Kharkiv, Governor Oleh Synehubov, reported on Telegram on Jan. 23.
The casualty numbers are still being updated.
The deceased women were 40 and 56 years old.
Five people are in critical condition. Two children, aged 10 and 12 years, are among the injured.
Early reports suggest that Russia attacked the city twice in the morning with Kh-22 anti-ship missiles, wrote Synehubov. Kharkiv’s Kyivskyi and Saltivskyi districts were hit.
The Russian military struck only civilian infrastructure: multi-apartment residential buildings and an educational institution were destroyed, and vehicles were demolished.
Russia's first strike on Kharkiv Oblast occurred around 4 a.m. Police reported four hits in the suburbs of Kharkiv: a gas pipeline caught fire, a health resort school was destroyed, and buildings were damaged.
An air raid alert was announced throughout Ukraine in the morning of Jan. 23 due to the threat of cruise missile launches from Russian Tu-95MS aircraft.
Russia began another massive missile attack on Ukraine. Expposions were heard in Kyiv and Dnipro. At least one civilian was killed in Kyiv, while others are injured and there are fires and damage to infrastructure in multiple parts of the capital.
At least five people were killed, and at least 40 more were injured, in Russia’s early morning missile attack on Ukraine as of 8:45 a.m., reported Internal Affairs Minister Ihor Klymenko on Telegram.
Rescuers are inspecting damaged buildings and clearing debris. Psychologists are working on the sites. Police investigators are documenting Russian crimes.
