KYIV - A Russian guided bomb attack on Aug 31 killed two people and injured 10 more including children in a village in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, the governor said.

Governor Oleh Synehubov said Russian forces hit the village of Cherkaska Lozova with guided bombs, damaging a residential building.

“Two women died,” he said.

“One was pulled from the rubble, the other died in an ambulance.”

He added that two children were among the injured.

Towns and villages in the northeastern Kharkiv region on the border with Russia have been frequently shelled and bombed by Moscow’s forces during the 30 months of the war.
