Russian attacks killĀ five in Ukraine, local officials say

-

June 28 (Reuters) - Russian ā€Œattacks killed at least four ​people on Sunday in Ukraine's southeast and northeast, regional ⁠officials said.

Strikes on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia killed two people and injured 16, Regional ​Governor Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram. Pictures posted ā€Œonline by the governor showed a building ablaze and parts of a neighborhood reduced to rubble.

In ⁠the northeastern border region of Kharkiv, ⁠a frequent Russian target, a missile strike on the town of Zmiiv killed one person and injured eight, including two children, Regional ā€ŒGovernor Oleh Syniehubov said.

Police in the Kharkiv region ⁠also said an officer was ā€Œkilled as he was ​trying to organize the evacuation of residents in another community further north.

In the Sumy region, ā€Œalso on the Russian border, ​the regional governor ⁠said an elderly woman was killed during ā€Œthe day in ⁠an area near the border.

Reuters was unable to independently verify accounts from either side. Both Russia ​and Ukraine deny ā€Œdeliberately targeting civilians in the more than four-year-old ⁠conflict.Ā
