A Russian missile attack against the town of Izium in Kharkiv Oblast on Feb. 4 killed at least five people and injured at least 38, Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported.
Seven people remain hospitalized, including a 15-year-old girl who suffered shrapnel wounds. She is in a condition of medium severity, according to Syniehubov.
The governor initially reported four people killed – two men and two women. A fifth victim was reported later during the day when rescue services found a body in the rubble.
According to preliminary data, Russian forces used a ballistic missile in the attack, targeting the central part of the city, Syniehubov said.
An administrative building suffered a hit, while another administrative building and several residential buildings were damaged, according to the governor. One person may still be trapped beneath the rubble.
Syniehubov stressed that no military facilities were located in the targeted area.
Izium, a town with a pre-invasion population of 45,000, lies in the southeastern part of Kharkiv Oblast, over 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the regional center, Kharkiv, and around 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of the front line.
Kharkiv Oblast in Ukraine's northeast is a regular target of Russian missile and drone attacks from across the border or Russian-occupied territories.
