At least seven people were killed, including two children, and 10 others were injured on Saturday when a Russian missile struck a five-storey apartment block in Ukraine's second-largest city of Kharkiv. This was reported by local authorities, who said it was a direct hit by a ballistic missile.
President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack and called for an international response. He said Russia had used 29 missiles and 480 drones in strikes on Ukraine overnight, targeting energy facilities in Kiev and central parts of the country.
