Four Killed in Russian Attacks Across Ukraine

At least four people were killed in Russian attacks across southeastern and northeastern Ukraine on Sunday, according to regional officials. The attacks occurred more than four years into a conflict where both Russia and Ukraine deny intentionally targeting civilians.

In the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, two individuals lost their lives and 16 were injured, stated regional governor Ivan Fedorov on Telegram. Images shared by the governor depicted a burning building and neighborhoods in ruins. Meanwhile, in the northeastern Kharkiv region, a frequent target of Russian assaults, a missile struck the town of Zmiiv. Regional governor Oleh Sinehubov reported that one person was killed and eight others injured, including two children.

Further casualties were reported in the Kharkiv region, where a police officer died while organizing the evacuation of residents in a northern community. Reuters was unable to independently confirm the accounts provided by either side of the conflict.
