At least six people have been injured in a Russian missile strike on Kharkiv, officials said on May 4.

In a post on Telegram, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said a civilian enterprise in the Industrial district had been hit. A nearby household reportedly caught fire.

All six victims are employees of the enterprise, including four women aged 18, 21, 36 and 39 and two 21-year-old men, according to the governor.

A Kyiv Independent reporter in the city center heard an explosion before an air raid alert had sounded, suggesting it was a ballistic missile that struck the city.

A large cloud of smoke could be seen above the city.

Russia recently intensified attacks against Kharkiv, using missiles, glide bombs, and drones to destroy energy infrastructure and kill civilians.
