Conflicts between Ukraine and Russia rage unabated. Two people were killed today Saturday in a Ukrainian shelling in the Russian region of Belgorod, on the border with Ukraine, said the local governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.

“Ukrainian armed forces they hit the village of Oktyabrsky with rockets,” Gladkov stressed, saying that a “man and a woman” were fatally wounded by “shell fragments.”

The governor said that, according to initial reports, another 10 people were injured by shrapnel, including an eight-year-old boy.

Ukraine regularly bombs the Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine’s Kharkiv province, where Russia launched a ground offensive on May 10.

At least two people were killed and 33 were injured earlier in a Russian bombing of a building materials supermarket in Kharkiv. There may have been “over 200 people” in the market at the time of the bombing.

A new Russian missile attack early Saturday evening targeting a residential area in central Kharkiv injured 12 people and damaged shops and a cafe, said Oleg Sinegubov, Kharkiv’s regional governor.

An eyewitness told Reuters that emergency workers were evacuating residents of neighboring apartment buildings from the area, which also houses a post office, a beauty salon and a cafe. Some of the injured had blood on their faces.

The rocket left a crater several meters deep. Residents tried to find places to take cover, others lying on the ground for protection in fear of further shelling.

A few hours earlier, at least two people were killed and 24 wounded in a Russian shelling of a major building materials market in the city.
