Ukraine. At least 21 people (21 people) were injured in two Russian missile attacks on central Kharkiv, according to Ukrainian officials. The Kharkiv regional chief prosecutor said the injured included two boys aged 14 and 16 and a security adviser to a team of German journalists.

He said the missiles came from the direction of Belgorod, Russia. Russian officials said 20 people were killed and 111 injured in a Ukrainian attack on the provincial capital Belgorod just hours earlier. The missile attack came a day after Russia’s largest air attack of the war, in which Ukrainian officials said at least 40 civilians were killed and 159 injured in 158 missile and drone strikes across the country.
Volodymyr Tymoshenko, head of the regional police in Kharkiv, said preliminary evidence showed that Russia used S-300 missiles as surface-to-surface weapons to attack Kharkiv. One missile hit the Kharkiv Palace Hotel, and the other hit a residential building in central Kharkiv. Tymoshenko said the other three targeted an industrial area but caused no damage.
