KHARKIV, Jan 17 ― Two Russian missiles struck a residential area in the centre of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, yesterday, injuring 17 people, two of them seriously, and badly damaging homes, local officials said.
Rescue teams were sifting through piles of rubble to establish whether others were hurt. The city's mayor described two “powerful explosions” and said at least 10 dwellings had been damaged.
Regional Police Chief Volodymyr Tymoshko told public broadcaster Suspilne that one missile hit a roadway, the other a three-storey apartment building. A fire broke out on two floors of a hospital opposite the building, but was extinguished.
