Russian missile strike on Ukrainian town center kills five

Now to Ukraine, where a Russian missile strike in the city center of Izium, northeastern Kharkiv region, on Tuesday killed five civilians and injured at least 55 people.

The attack also destroyed a part of the city council building, which had been recently renovated.

Among the dead was a pregnant teenager, while three children were injured in the attack.

Ukrainian officials condemned the attack, labeling it a deliberate assault on civilian areas.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it is "impossible to reconcile with this cruelty" and called on allies to pressure Russia to end the invasion that began nearly three years ago.
