KYIV (Reuters) -A Russian attack on the city of Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine injured at least 21 people on Tuesday, including a child, regional officials said.
Governor Oleh Syniehubov said via the Telegram messaging app that the attack had damaged infrastructure and the authorities were working to verify the type of weapon used.
He and Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said it was likely that a civilian production facility had been hit. Terekhov said a fire had broken out.
Seventeen people were hospitalized after the attack, Terekhov added, including a 16-year-old.
Located 30 km (18 miles) from the border with Russia, Kharkiv has been a frequent target of Russian attacks since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Last week, a Russian guided bomb attack on the city struck a five-storey apartment block, injuring 10 people, local officials said.
