In Kharkiv, the number of casualties has increased to 17 due to Russia's strike on the city. According to the chief of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, Oleg Synegubov, 12 individuals have been hospitalized.
"Two women are in critical condition. Additionally, 12 people have been hospitalized and are in satisfactory to mild condition in medical facilities," stated the chief of the Regional State Administration.
Medical assistance was provided on-site to three individuals who refused hospitalization.
"Three individuals declined hospitalization; they received medical assistance on the spot," noted Synegubov.
Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov reported damage to 19 buildings, and the number of casualties remains unchanged.
The number of residential buildings affected by the impact of two rockets yesterday evening is 19. Seventeen residents have injuries, with 14 of them hospitalized, and one is in critical condition. Fourteen cars have been destroyed. Relevant services continue their work at the scene. All necessary assistance is being provided to those in need.
According to the head of the Kharkiv police, Volodymyr Tymoshko, the Russian Federation hit the roadway and a residential three-story building. The Russians also damaged the hospital across from the building.
"There are no wounded military personnel; all are civilians. Hitting a civilian object where ordinary residents of Kharkiv live, in the center, again indicates that this is a terrorist act aimed at intimidation and destruction of the population. This is genocide. It's an old building," Tymoshko said.
Russians often attack Kharkiv from the Belgorod region.
On January 16, Russia launched missile strikes on Kharkiv. Later, it became known that multi-story buildings in the center of Kharkiv were damaged. Preliminary information suggests that the attack was carried out with "S-300" missiles from the territory of the Belgorod region of Russia.
