One person was killed, and eight others were injured, including two children, after Russian munitions struck a passenger car in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kharkiv Oblast on July 17.
"One man was killed. He was in the car near the epicenter of the explosion when it struck. Eight civilians were injured, including two children, aged seven and two," Ukraine's National Police reported.
Several of the injured victims have been hospitalized, and six have sustained blast injuries. The vehicle caught fire.

Russia regularly conducts fatal strikes on civilian infrastructure in cities across Ukraine as it continues to wage its war.
Late on July 16, Russia launched a missile strike on the southern city of Odesa, killing two people and injuring at least eight others, including children, local officials reported.
Earlier the same day, Russia slammed Ukraine's capital with ballistic missiles in an overnight attack, killing at least two people and injuring six others, officials said.
