The baby's body was pulled out of the rubble of the three-storey building in the village of Zolochiv, said Kharkiv regional governor Oleh Synehubov.

Two other women were hurt when Russia fired two S-300 missiles, he said, hitting the hotel and nearby buildings.

Attacks on the Kharkiv region have intensified since the end of 2023.

Zolochiv is only 20km (12 miles) from the Russian border and too close for Ukraine's air defences to offer sufficient cover.
