Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, and the surrounding region have long been targeted by Russian attacks.
A Russian attack has killed at least four people in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and injured at least 28 others, Ukrainian officials have said.
“Occupiers killed a child right on the playground,” Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app on Friday.
Three other people were killed in a 12-storey apartment block that caught fire as a result of the attack, he said.
A video from the site shared by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak, showed huge flames and heavy black smoke rising from the upper floors of a residential building.
“Russians hit civilians again,” Yermak said on Telegram.
