Russian forces on Jan. 2 launched a missile attack on a residential neighborhood in the city of Kharkiv, killing a child and injuring at least 19 people, including a six-month-old baby, regional authorities said.
The body of a three-year-old boy was recovered from the rubble of a destroyed apartment building after the attack, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported. The boy's mother is considered missing. Search and rescue operations are ongoing at the site.
Sixteen of the wounded were hospitalized, including a woman in serious condition, Syniehubov said. He added that the baby did not require hospitalization.
In total, 28 people sought medical assistance following the attack, which included at least six people who suffered from severe stress due to the attack, according to Syniehubov.
