Russian forces deployed a new weapon in their latest strike on Ukraine that left at least 10 people dead, officials said.
Regional authorities said a residential building in Kharkiv was hit by a new Russian cruise missile known as Izdeliye-30. Ukrainian reports said Russia started using the new subsonic air-launched weapon recently. It has a range of 1,500km and is equipped with a new satellite navigation system more resistant to jamming.
The missile strike, part of a larger attack targeting almost all of Ukraine, also wounded 16 people in Kharkiv.
Among the dead was a primary schoolteacher and her son, a second-grade student, who were killed in their home and an eighth-grader who died with her mother, Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia struck with 29 missiles and 480 drones overnight, targeting energy facilities in Kyiv and other central regions and damaging at least seven locations across the country.
