Ukraine said Tuesday that one person was killed by Russian artillery fire in the northeastern Sumy region.
Sumy and the neighboring region of Kharkiv, where the country's second-largest city is located, have come under increasing aerial bombardments in recent weeks.
"As a result of an enemy attack, one civilian was killed and four were wounded, including two young children," Ukrainian law enforcement authorities said.
Police released images showing munitions debris and a crater next to a damaged brick building.
They said energy infrastructure and several residential buildings had been damaged, but they did not provide further details.
Russian strikes in Sumy on Monday temporarily left hundreds of thousands without power.
Military officials in Kyiv have speculated that Moscow could try to capture the region in a summer offensive.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
