A Russian missile attack against the town of Zlatopil in Kharkiv Oblast on Dec. 10 injured at least 11 people, officials reported.

A hit was recorded near a bank, damaging non-residential buildings and cars, the governor said at around 10:20 a.m. local time. Less than 10 minutes later, Syniehubov reported another attack.

Russia likely deployed two Iskander-M ballistic missiles against the town, Ukraine's Interior Ministry reported.

The victims included two men aged 49 and 59 and eight women aged between 29 and 62. Eight of the injured residents were hospitalized, according to Governor Oleh Syniehubov.

Houses, businesses, cars, and administrative buildings were damaged.

Zlatopil, with a pre-war population of 28,500, is located around 60 kilometers (roughly 35 miles) south of Kharkiv, the regional center.

Lying near the Russian border and occupied territories in the northeast, Kharkiv Oblast is a regular target of Russian attacks, resulting in civilian casualties and damage.
