Seven people, including two children, were injured in Russian attacks in the Kharkiv region, according to Ukrainian authorities. The reports concern several places in the region; the figures have not been independently verified.
Ukrainian authorities reported new attacks on Kharkiv and surrounding areas on Saturday. According to the regional authorities, seven people were injured, including two children.
Several districts in the city of Kharkiv were hit, according to mayor Ihor Terechov. Ukrinform also reports damage in other places in the region.
The Ukrainian reports refer to Russian attacks. No independent statement from Russia is available on these specific incidents.
Ukrinform bases its reporting on statements by the mayor of Kharkiv and the head of the regional military administration. The extent of the damage and the precise circumstances have not been independently established.
The Kharkiv region lies close to the Russian border and is regularly hit by missiles and drones. During the war, Ukraine and Russia regularly accuse each other of attacking civilian targets; claims from the war zone are often difficult to verify independently at once.
