(Reuters) – Russian guided bombs killed at least two people and injured 13 others in the northeastern Ukraine’s city of Kharkiv on Friday, local officials said.
It was not immediately clear what they had been targeting but the regional governor said those injured were civilians.
“Among the 13 wounded, four are in a serious condition,” governor Oleh Syniehubov said on the Telegram messaging app.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, and the surrounding region have long been targeted by Russian attacks but the strikes have become more intense in recent months, hitting civilian and energy infrastructure.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has accused Moscow of seeking to reduce the city to rubble.
Moscow denies deliberately targeting civilians but thousands have been killed and injured in its 27-months-old invasion of Ukraine.
