Russian shelling of Kharkiv, a city in northeastern Ukraine, has left 11 people injured, among them a rescue worker. The strike damaged residential districts and infrastructure facilities, and the entrance section of one apartment building was destroyed. The attack comes amid Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.

What is known about the consequences

The report from Ukrainian media says one of the injured is a rescuer, meaning emergency service personnel were working at the site of the attack. How the rescuer was hurt and what condition he or she is in is not specified in the source.

The source gives no more detail on which infrastructure facilities were damaged. It also does not say what weapon was used, or how many apartments or residents were affected by the destroyed entrance.

The report will be updated if new data on the casualties and damage appears.
