A Russian guided bomb struck a supermarket on Sunday evening in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, injuring at least four people, Kharkiv Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.
Syniehubov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said the supermarket was hit in the Shevchenkivskyi district, near the city centre.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said the supermarket was located next to high-rise residential buildings. Terekhov said an earlier bomb strike had hit a forested area in the city.
