Berlin, March 24, (dpa/GNA) – At least six people were killed and 15 injured by Russian artillery fire in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, according to regional governor Oleh Snegubov on social media channels.
The victims died while queuing for humanitarian aid at a post office in a north-eastern district of the city, he said.
“This is another war crime committed by the Russian occupiers,” Snegubov wrote.
The country’s second-largest city has been under bombardment by airstrikes and artillery shelling since the Russian invasion began a month ago. According to local reports, more than 1,000 homes in Kharkiv have been destroyed so far.
