At least one person was killed and three wounded in the city of Kharkiv on Sunday, said Oleh Syniehubov, head of the military administration of the Kharkiv region.

“The rocket hit a four-story residential building in the Kyivsky district,” Syniehubov said. “The upper floors and the roof of the building were destroyed and a large-scale fire broke out.”
Kupiansk, Vovchansk, Strilecha, Dvorichna and other cities came under enemy fire, Syniehubov added, damaging private houses, shops and other buildings.
In Kupiansk, a 41-year-old man was wounded as a result of enemy shelling, he said.

Russian shelling damaged homes and buildings in several parts of the region, the regional police said.
