Russian forces attacked the Kholodnohirskyi district of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on the evening of October 12, using missiles that Mayor Ihor Terekhov called "Banderol" missiles. An entire section of a five-story apartment building collapsed in the strike, and people may be trapped under the rubble.
Casualties
Oleh Syniehubov, head of the regional military administration, said that according to the latest update five people were injured. The figure may change, because it is not yet known how many people could be beneath the collapsed part of the building.
What is known about the attack
Mayor Terekhov said the section of the building "collapsed," meaning that it was not just a partial failure but an entire residential section that came down. The source does not say how many apartments or residents were in that section, and it does not report on the progress of rescue work.
The information from city and regional officials is preliminary and could be updated once the search through the rubble is complete and the exact number of victims is established.
