The region of Kharkiv has been hit “10 times” with “Russian S300” missiles, the head of the regional military admiration has said.
“This morning began at 7am when a Russian S300 missile hit a hospital in Kupyansk. The infectious diseases unit was partially destroyed. Rescuers are working there. There were several hits on critical infrastructure in Kharkiv city and in Chuhuiv district of Kharkiv region,” Oleh Syniehubov wrote on Telegram.
CNN has not been able to verify that the S300 is the missile used for the attacks.
He added that critical infrastructure and energy facilities were damaged and “there is no electricity in Kharkiv city.”
The subway and public transport are not working.
The mayor of Kyiv, Ihor Terekhov, confirmed earlier Friday morning that Kharkiv city has been left without power.
“Kharkiv city is without power, but all the “Invincibility Points” work, where one can warm up, recharge phone, there is hot tea and the Internet,” he said.
Missile attacks were reported across Ukraine overnight including in Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava, Zhytmoyr, Kharkiv and Sumy.
CNN teams in the city have reported hearing explosions, as well as seeing and hearing missiles. They also heard the air defense systems working in the Ukrainian capital.
