Russian bomb attack kills five in Kharkiv region in northeast Ukraine

A ‌Russian attack with glide bombs killed five medical personnel in ‌the northeastern Ukrainian city of Izium, ‌regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said on Friday.

Syniehubov, writing on Telegram, ⁠said ​those ⁠killed in the strike on Thursday ⁠worked at a local branch ​of the Kharkiv disease prevention centre. ⁠Fourteen people were injured. Izium was ⁠seized ​by Russian troops soon after Moscow's February 2022 ⁠invasion of its smaller neighbour, ⁠but ⁠was recaptured by Ukrainian forces in a counter-offensive ‌later ‌that year.
