Russian attacks killed at least four ​people on Sunday in Ukraine's southeast and northeast, ‌regional officials said.

Strikes on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia killed two people and injured 16, Regional Governor ​Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram. Pictures ​posted online by the governor showed a ⁠building ablaze and parts of a ​neighborhood reduced to rubble.

In the northeastern border region ​of Kharkiv, a frequent Russian target, a missile strike on the town of Zmiiv killed one person ​and injured eight, including two children, Regional ​Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

Police in the Kharkiv region also ‌said ⁠an officer was killed as he was trying to organize the evacuation of residents in another community further north.

In the Sumy ​region, also on ​the ⁠Russian border, the regional governor said an elderly woman was killed ​during the day in an area ​near ⁠the border.

Reuters was unable to independently verify accounts from either side. Both Russia and Ukraine ⁠deny ​deliberately targeting civilians in the ​more than four-year-old conflict.
