Child killed in Russian air strike in western Ukraine - governor

A Russian missile strike crashed into the grounds of a house in the western Ukrainian region of Ivano-Frankivsk on Friday, killing an eight-year-old boy, the governor and state prosecutors said.

"There are wounded (people) including a child who was brought to hospital in critical condition. Medics did everything possible, but unfortunately the child's life could not be saved," governor Svitlana Onyshchuk wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
