A hotel in Kharkiv, Ukraine, where Anadolu journalists had been staying, has been hit in an attack with S-300 missiles, reported from the Anadolu Agency.

Oleg Sinegubov, head of the military administration of the Kharkiv region, said that a hotel with more than 30 civilians was hit in the attack at 10.30 p.m. local time (2030GMT) and that 11 people were injured in the incident.

He noted that among the injured are Turkish journalists staying in the hotel.

On January 10, Journalists' Day, Anadolu reporter Davit Kachkachishvili and photojournalist Ozge Elif Kizil, who were on duty, managed to escape from the damaged hotel, which was engulfed in flames.

Kachkachishvili had minor cuts on his hands.

The Anadolu staff, in good health, was taken by ambulance to the hospital to be thoroughly checked.

The vehicle used by the team was also damaged and rendered unusable, like many other vehicles near the hotel.
