Ukraine said on Tuesday that one person was killed by Russian artillery fire in Sumy, an eastern border region that officials in Kyiv have said Russia could try to seize.
Sumy and the neighbouring region of Kharkiv, where the country鈥檚 second-largest city is located, have come under increasing aerial bombardments in recent weeks.聽
鈥楢s a result of an enemy attack, one civilian was killed and four were wounded, including two young children,鈥� Ukrainian police said.
They added that Moscow鈥檚 forces had fired on the territory that borders Russia 224 times over the last 24 hours.
The police released images showing munitions debris and a crater next to a damaged brick building.
They said energy infrastructure and several residential buildings had been damaged, without providing details.
Russian strikes in Sumy on Monday temporarily left hundreds of thousands without power.
Military officials in Kyiv have speculated that Moscow could try to capture the region in a summer offensive.
