Why it matters
The escalation of attacks on civilian areas and critical nuclear infrastructure heightens concerns regarding regional stability and nuclear safety protocols in the ongoing conflict.
A Russian missile attack killed 10 people in a village in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, Ukrainian authorities said.
"This morning the Russians launched a brutal attack on a busy intersection in Pechenihy, Kharkiv region – a location with a post office and stores, surrounded only by residential buildings," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on X.
Mr Zelensky posted photos of a destroyed building, cars on fire and emergency responders carrying people on stretchers.
"We will definitely respond to this Russian strike," he said.
A further 17 people were injured in the attack, the governor of the surrounding region, Oleh Syniehubov, said on the Telegram messaging app.
There was no immediate public comment from Russia on the attack.
The strike on the village damaged 10 private buildings, a cafe, a post office, a store and at least seven cars, Mr Syniehubov said.
