5 people died and 24 were injured when Russian missiles were launched at the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

In the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, tragedy struck as Russian missiles rained down, claiming the lives of five people and injuring over 24 others, according to Governor Oleh Syniehubov in a statement on Telegram on Friday. The majority of the victims were residents of a five-story apartment building, which also sustained significant damage. The attacks didn't spare emergency services, damaging a fire truck and ambulance in the process.

The destruction caused by the Russian military didn't stop there. At least 20 residential buildings were also damaged in the onslaught. Governor Syniehubov revealed that a total of five missiles were fired at the city. The capital, Kyiv, was also targeted, with authorities confirming the use of a cruise missile. The impact of the attack was felt in a nearby car repair shop, car wash, and several vehicles, all of which were damaged by falling rocket debris.

In addition to the residential and commercial damage, a transformer station was also hit, causing a temporary power outage. Fortunately, the energy company DTEK was able to quickly restore power. Thankfully, there were no reported casualties from the incident. However, this is not the first time Ukraine has faced such attacks. For over two years, the country has been fighting off a full-scale Russian invasion. And with repeated power cuts due to previous attacks on the power supply, the citizens of Ukraine have been facing immense challenges.
