Russian forces attacked a densely populated area of the city of Kharkiv with guided aerial bombs on Oct. 8, killing at least two people and injuring five others, local authorities reported.
The attack is the second strike on Kharkiv to cause civilian casualties in the day.
Earlier in the morning, another attack injured more than 20 people, including a 16-year-old child.
The city's Mayor Ihor Terekhov said that according to preliminary data Russia hit a multi-story building in the second attack. The strike damaged 15 apartment buildings in the Saltivka district, he added.
A woman and a man, both aged 70, are among the killed.
Kharkiv has endured constant Russian attacks for over two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The last few months have seen intensifying strikes against densely-populated areas of the city.
