At least 31 people, including nine children, have been injured after a missile struck the car park of a residential building in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, local officials say.

What is believed to be a Russian Iskander missile landed in the town of Pervomaisky at about 13:30 local time.

Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin said there were only residential buildings in the area.

A one-year-old and a ten-month-old were reportedly among the injured.

Mr Kostin said targeting the residential buildings amounted to another war crime from Russia.

Oleg Sinegubov, the Kharkiv regional governor posted several pictures of the damaged building to Telegram.

They showed smashed windows, dark smoke clouds and an overturned car.

Russia has not immediately commented on the incident, and Moscow has previously denied targeting civilians.

Earlier today, Russia said it had brought down five Ukrainian drones aimed at Moscow and its surrounding region, but reported no casualties or damage.
