A Russian glide bomb attacked the city of Kharkiv on July 25 killing at least one person and injuring another 14, including a child, local authorities reported.

The strike occurred at around 11:40 a.m. local time, targeting the Industrialnyi district of the city. The glide bomb hit a medical facility, partially destroying the third floor and roof of the facility. A nearby house and two vehicles were also damaged in the attack.

Four people were hospitalized, according to Governor Oleh Syniehubov.

Emergency crews have rescued four people from the rubble, but some people could still be trapped beneath it. Rescue operations are ongoing.

In recent months, Moscow has been intensifying attacks against Kharkiv – Ukraine's second-largest city – which sits just over 20 kilometers (15 miles) from the Russian border, as well as against smaller settlements in the Kharkiv Oblast.
