Russian missiles struck a hospital in the Velikiy Burluk settlement of Ukraine's eastern region of Kharkiv, causing damage but no casualties, regional Governor Oleh Synyehubov reported early on February 1. Synyehubov wrote on Telegram that "guided missiles hit the civilian hospital" late on January 31.

"The hospital staff responded rapidly to the air-raid alert and managed to evacuate all 33 patients and five employees present at the time on the premises, he said. The facade of the building, windows and roof were damaged," Synyehubov said.
