Ukraine: four dead, 20 injured in a Russian missile attack in the East


At least four people were killed and 20 injured Tuesday in a Russian missile attack on the city of Izioum, northeast of Ukraine, the regional governor announced.

“Enemy attack on Izioum. According to preliminary data, the occupants used a ballistic missile. Four people were killed, “said Synegoubov on Telegram Oleg Synegoubov, head of the Kharkiv region.

In a second message, he gave an updated assessment of 20 injured, adding that the missile “struck the center” of this city which had more than 40,000 inhabitants before the war.

Izioum, located a hundred kilometers from the regional capital, Kharkiv, had been occupied by Russian forces from April 2022 until they were driven out by a Ukrainian counter-offensive in September of the same year .

Further east, Russian troops have managed to create a bridgehead in the western shore of the Oskil river, continuing their slow advance in the face of a Ukrainian army faced with a lack of recruits and armaments.

On Saturday, Russian missile missiles and drones had killed 14 in the center and eastern Ukraine, according to local authorities, during one of the most important attacks for weeks.
