Russia launched a missile attack on the village of Tsyrkuny in Kharkiv Oblast injuring a man, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported on May 21.

According to the governor, a S-300 missiles damaged a private residential building. The air raid alert sounded for the entirety of Kharkiv Oblast from 19:30 p.m. until 20:08 p.m. local time.
