        A Russian guided bomb struck a
        five-storey apartment block in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest
        city, late on Wednesday, starting fires and injuring eight
        people, local officials said.
        
        Kharkiv regional governor Oleh Syniehubov, writing on the
        Telegram messaging app, said the bomb hit between the third and
        fourth floors of the building.
        
        Emergency crews were evacuating the building, trying to
        account for all residents and tackling the fire. He said at
        least 10 cars adjacent to the building were ablaze.
        
        Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov put the injury toll at eight. He
        said guided bombs had struck two city districts.
        
        Located 30 km (18 miles) from the Russian border, Kharkiv
        has been a frequent target of Russian forces throughout the more
        than 2-1/2-year-old war.
