At least 28 people, including three children, were injured when a Russian guided bomb hit on Sunday a high-rise building in Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, local officials said.

"The hit caused a fire in a residential high-rise building," governor Oleh Syniehubov said on the Telegram messenger.

He said civilian infrastructure was also damaged.

Kharkiv, one of Ukraine's largest cities and a key industrial centre, is located near the Russian border and is constantly under attack from Russian bombs, missiles and drones.
