About three people have been killed and 10 injured in a Russian missile strike on the eastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv, military administrator Vitaliy Karabanov said on Telegram on Monday.

The number of victims could rise further as authorities are still receiving calls about possible victims.

The Russian military attacked the town of Balaklia with two missiles during the night.

In the rural settlement of Velykyi Burluk in the same region, one person was killed and another injured, with damage to private homes in a drone attack, according to civil defence authorities.

Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia’s invasion for more than three and a half years with Western assistance.
