Russians Kill 14 Civilians, Injure Others in New Kharkiv Bombings: Governor

A Ukrainian regional governor says Russian troops advancing on the country's northeastern city of Kharkiv have killed over a dozen civilians and left more wounded in what he called "terrorism."

Oleg Synegubov, governor of the Kharkiv region, said in a Telegram post Tuesday that Russian forces killed 15 people and left 16 wounded in what he described as a targeted attack on the area. The report follows other allegations that Russian forces have deliberately selected civilian targets and comes as the Kremlin continues to shift its plan of attack in the four-month-old conflict.

"This is terrorism," Synegubov said in the post. "These are crimes against humanity that must be punished!"

According to Synegubov, the civilians were killed in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, and other nearby smaller communities. Synegubov said an 8-year-old girl died in the attacks and her mother was injured.
