Two people were hospitalised late on Sunday after Russia hit the city of Kharkiv – the administrative centre of the wider Kharkiv region – with precision guided bombs and damaged several residential buildings, the city’s mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
There were more attacks on the city later in the night, Terekhov said on the Telegram messaging channel, partially damaging several buildings.
