At least eight people have been injured in an Iskander rocket attack on central Kharkiv on Tuesday, according to the local authorities.

An eight-month-old baby was among those injured. Two of the victims have been hospitalised, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

A local polyclinic was damaged in the strike, and emergency services are working with public utilities to help clear the rubble. Several cars and more than a dozen buildings were also damaged.

The clinic is expected to resume its work in the near future, according to the authorities.

"We went to the clinic, and at about 9:50 (am local time) the explosion happened. The glass in the clinic was also shattered, I went outside and thought about driving the car to another place, but the car was gone," said local resident Volodymyr Besenkov.
