Russian shelling killed at least four civilians on Saturday in separate regions of Ukraine, officials said.

In the northeastern Sumy region, a frequent target of Russian attacks, a 14-year-old boy was killed, and 12 other people were wounded in a rocket attack on Hlukhiv. The attack affected apartment blocks, houses, an educational institution, a shop, and vehicles just after noon. Six of the wounded were children.

In Kharkiv, another frequent Russian target, one person was killed when fire hit a private home near the city of Chuhuiv, Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported. Meanwhile, in the Kherson region, in southern Ukraine, officials said two people were killed: one in Kherson and one near Beryslav.

Kherson region was initially occupied during Russia's February 2022 invasion, but Ukrainian forces recaptured large swathes later. Russian troops continue to shell Ukrainian-held areas from new positions. Reuters has not independently confirmed these accounts, and Russian officials have not commented.
