A Russian strike killed five civilians and wounded 55 on Tuesday in the town of Izium in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, partially destroying the city council building, officials said.

Axar.az reports that a Russian ballistic missile hit the building in the town's central district, governor Oleh Syniehubov said on Telegram.

Three children were among the injured, who also included many local government and social services workers, he said.

Vitaliya Kliuchanovych said that she was looking for two female relatives, aged 18 and 19, who had gone to collect documents from the passport service. Syniehubov later said both women - one of them pregnant - were among those killed.

Bodies of those killed in the strike lay in black bags on the pavement.

"This brutality cannot be tolerated. Maximum pressure must be applied to Russia – through military force, sanctions, and diplomacy – to stop the terror and protect lives," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X, commenting on the strike.
