Elsewhere in the Kharkiv region, three people were injured in Russian shelling on the city of Kupiansk, Syniehubov said.

Officials in southern Ukraine said Sunday that the Russian military had used a record number of aerial bombs over the country's Kherson region in the past 24 hours.
Natalia Humeniuk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian military's Operational Command South, said that 36 missiles had been recorded over the area, with some villages being hit by several strikes.
