(Reuters) - Russian forces attacked Ukraine's second-largest city Kharkiv and the surrounding region with guided aerial bombs on Sunday 3 November 2024, wounding at least fifteen people, Kharkiv Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.
Syniehubov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said the attack damaged two residential buildings and windows of an infrastructure facility, two supermarkets, a cafe, 21 kiosks and a shopping centre.
There were four interior ministry employees among those injured in Kharkiv, the governor said.
The eastern city has become a frequent target of Russian air attacks since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Syniehubov said Russian forces had badly damaged a five-storey apartment building in Kivsharivka, a small town near Kupiansk, east of Kharkiv.
Volodymyr Tymoshko, head of the regional police, said three residents died in the attack. A woman was rescued overnight, but further such efforts were hampered by ongoing Russian attacks, regional authorities said.
