A Russian missile hit a postal distribution center in Ukraine’s second largest city Kharkiv on Saturday, killing six people and injuring 14, Kharkiv region governor Oleh Synehubov said.
Synehubov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said several of the injured were in serious condition in hospital.
“All six dead and 14 injured as a result of the occupiers’ attack were employees of the company who were inside the Nova Poshta terminal,” he said.
“This is strictly a civilian site,” Synehubov said. “The Russians have inflicted more terror on Kharkiv’s peaceful population.”
Regional prosecutors, quoted by Ukraine’s public broadcaster, said two missiles struck a postal distribution center.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to the families of the victims, calling for a tough response to “Russian terror.”
“We must increase pressure on the terrorist state,” he wrote on Telegram. “We must confront Russian terror every day on the front lines with our results, we must further strengthen the unity of the world in the fight against terror.”
