Four people were killed on Saturday in two Russian assaults in Ukraine’s northern Kharkiv, including a Supreme Court judge who was driving a human vehicles while helping local inhabitants.
In the village of Slatyne, which is located about 25 kilometers ( 15 miles ) north of Kharkiv, the regional capital, three people were killed and at least three others were hurt in an air attack, according to regional governor Oleh Syniehubov. Russian forces used KAB-guided flying bombs, according to local established Vyacheslav Zadorenko.
” The foe hit civil infrastructure, damaged academic institutions, stores”, Syniehubov said on the Telegram messaging app. ” People were outside at the time”.
Some 25 km ( 15 miles ) further north, in the village of Kozacha Lopan, an attack by a Russian first-person view drone killed the 61-year-old judge and injured three women who were in the car he was driving, the regional prosecutor’s office said.
The attorney’s office shared an image of a dark coupe outside a crimson brick building with its ceiling partly caved in in a article on Telegram. Ukraine’s Supreme Court named the prosecutor as Leonid Loboyko.
Reuters was unable to promptly check the details of the problems.
Russia denies targeting citizens, although it has killed dozens during more than 2-1/2 years of war.
