Reuters has not been able to confirm the report directly from an independent source, in an area where heavy fighting has been reported since Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24. Russia denies targeting civilians in what it calls a “special operation” to disarm and “de-Nazify” Ukraine.
The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a hospital in Mariupol, southern Ukraine, killing at least three people and wounding four others, including a child, according to Ukrainian officials.
Russia has said it will investigate the incident but some officials have dismissed reports of the attack as “false news”.
Shinehubov also said that Russian forces had bombed residential areas in Kharkiv, the region’s main city, 89 times in one day, but that there was no danger to civilians after being hit by a nuclear laboratory.
All Ukrainian nuclear power plants are operating steadily but workers at the Zaporizhia plant are facing “psychological pressure” at work following its occupation by Russian forces, according to Ukraine’s state-owned nuclear power company Energoatom. According to her, the levels of radioactivity in all factories were unchanged.
