Russian missile attack kills 10 in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, officials say

A Russian missile attack killed 10 people on Tuesday in a village in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, Ukrainian authorities said.

"This morning the Russians launched a brutal attack on a busy intersection in Pechenihy, Kharkiv region – a location with a post office and stores, surrounded only by residential buildings," President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on X.

Zelenskiy posted photos of a destroyed building, cars on fire and emergency responders carrying people on stretchers.

The strike on the village damaged 10 private buildings, a cafe, a post office, a store and at least seven cars, Syniehubov said.

Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office said that according to preliminary information, Russia used two small Banderol cruise missiles.

A local official told public broadcaster Suspilne that the strikes had hit the central part of the village, where the cafe, post office and shops are located.
