(Reuters) – Two Russian missiles struck a hotel late on Wednesday in the centre of Ukraine’s second largest city, Kharkiv, injuring 10 people, one of them seriously, the regional governor said.
Kharkiv Governor Oleh Synehubov, writing on Telegram, said the strike involved a S-300 missile in the city’s Kyiv district.
“One person is in critical condition, another has injuries and is in stable condition, while the rest have minor injuries,” Synehubov wrote.
Visiting Turkish journalists were among the injured, he wrote.
Oleksandr Filchakov, head of the Kharkiv prosecutor’s office, said one missile hit a building near the hotel complex and the second one hit near the building’s entrance.
Filchakov, in a video posted on Telegram, said 23 guests and eight staff were in the hotel when the missiles struck at about 10.30 p.m.
