Five people have been killed and ten injured after Russian forces attacked a residential building in Kharkiv.

Among the injured are two boys, aged six and eleven, and a 17-year-old girl, wrote the region's governor, Oleh Synehubov, on Telegram.

In addition, ten people are missing, including a child, according to rescue workers. They are feared to be trapped under the rubble of the five-story building that was "virtually destroyed" in the attacks.

One person has also been killed in the Dnipro region.

The night's attack prompted neighboring NATO member Poland to send military aircraft.

"Due to Russia's missile attacks on Ukrainian territory, military aircraft have begun operating in our airspace," the Armed Forces' operational command wrote on X.
