The death toll from Russia’s missile attack on residential buildings that took place early on Friday has now risen to two, Oleh Syniehubov the head of Kharkiv’s regional state administration said in a post on Telegram.
Syniehubov said a 68-year-old woman was also killed, adding that she was the grandmother of the 10-year-old boy who was killed and the 11-month-old injured baby.
The number of people injured has also risen to at least 30, Syniehubov added.
Videos showing the aftermath of the attacks show smoke billowing into the sky. Another video shows buildings badly burnt with the charred remains of a car nearby.
