Kharkiv region head Oleg Synegubov has said on Tuesday that Russian missile attacks hit the centre of Ukraine's second-largest city, including residential areas and the regional administration building, as Moscow started the day six of its invasion.

Synegubov has said Russia launched GRAD and cruise missiles on Kharkiv, but the city defence was holding.

"Such attacks are the genocide of the Ukrainian people, a war crime against the civilian population!" he has said.

Rocket strikes on Kharkiv have killed at least ten people and wounded 35, Ukrainian Interior Ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko has said.

Similar strikes have killed and wounded dozens in the city the previous day.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has said the Kremlin would press its military operation in Ukraine until it achieves its goals.

Shoigu has also said Moscow's main goal was protecting itself from threats created by the West and said Russia was not occupying Ukraine's territory.

Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a "special operation" that it says is not designed to occupy territory but to destroy its southern neighbour's military capabilities and capture what it regards as dangerous nationalists.
