A local woman was killed by Russia’s missile attack on Shevchenkove near Kupiansk in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, Oleh Synehubov, the local governor, reports.

“The enemy executed a strike yesterday evening using S-300 missiles upon the vicinity of Shevchenkove in the Kupiansk district. The missile hit a 2-storey apartment block. A nearby house was also damaged. Unfortunately, a woman of 38 years was killed and at least two more people were injured.
