A seventeen-year-old girl was killed and nine others were injured in an overnight Russian missile attack on the city of Berestyn in Kharkiv Oblast on Nov. 18, regional authorities said.

The girl was critically wounded in the strike and later died of her injuries at a hospital, regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported.

A sixteen-year-old boy was among the wounded. Seven of the nine wounded have been hospitalized with blast trauma, officials said.
