As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on the afternoon of January 2, the occupiers struck Kharkiv using two Iskander-M ballistic missiles. They hit a multi-storey residential building, partially destroying it. Several other high-rise buildings located near the site of the "hit" were also damaged.

One of the victims was a 3-year-old boy who was pulled out of the rubble by rescuers. More than 30 people were injured.
