A Russian missile attack against Kharkiv on Aug. 6 killed one person and injured 12 others, including an eight-month-old baby, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Russia struck the Shevchenkivskyi city district with an Iskander missile at around 10 a.m., damaging a clinic, cars, and other civilian infrastructure, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

Two of the victims have been hospitalized, the governor said. More people are thought to be trapped under the rubble.

Attacks on population centers in Kharkiv Oblast intensified after Russian forces launched a new cross-border offensive in the northern part of the region in May.

While Ukrainian troops have halted the advance, Russia continues to hold a handful of border settlements.
