KYIV, Ukraine: A Russian missile attack on Tuesday on the Ukrainian city of Izyum, briefly occupied by Russia in 2022, killed five people and wounded more than four dozen others, officials said.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said after the attack that it was “impossible to reconcile with this cruelty” and urged allies to pile pressure on Moscow to end its invasion.

Oleg Synegubov, governor of the wider Kharkiv region bordering Russia, said 50 people had been wounded in the Russian strike, including a 15-year-old girl.

Images distributed by rescue workers showed a woman crying over body bags lined up in a row, a gaping hole in a damaged building and blood stains on debris.
