Russian ******* ****** judge, others in Kharkiv: Ukraine

Two Russian attacks in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region have ******* four people including a Supreme Court judge who was delivering aid to local residents in a civilian car, Ukrainian officials say.

Regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said an air ******* ******* three people and injured at least three others in the village of Slatyne, which ***** about 25km north of the city of Kharkiv – the regional capital.

Local official Vyacheslav Zadorenko said Russian forces had used KAB guided aerial ******.

“The ****** hit civilian infrastructure, damaged educational institutions, shops,” Syniehubov said on Telegram.

“People were outside at the time.”

About 25km further north, in the village of Kozacha Lopan, an ******* by a Russian first-person view drone ******* the 61-year-old judge and injured three women who were in the car he was driving, the regional prosecutor’s office said.

In a post on Telegram, the prosecutor’s office shared an image of a ****** sedan outside a red brick building with its roof partially caved in.

Ukraine’s Supreme Court named the judge as Leonid Loboyko.

Reuters could not immediately verify the details of the attacks.

Russia denies targeting civilians although it has ******* thousands during more than two and a half years of war.

Ukrainian officials said a medical centre in the northeastern city of Sumy was hit by two Russian attacks on Saturday, ******** at least nine people.

The first strike ******* one person and Russia attacked again while patients and staff were leaving, Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said.

Local officials in Sumy said Shahed drones were used in the *******.

Twenty-one other people were wounded, Sumy acting mayor Artem Kobzar said.

Sumy ***** about 30km from Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukrainian troops have made a surprise incursion since August 6 in a bid to divert the Kremlin’s military focus away from the front line in Ukraine.

In Russia, the Defence Ministry said on Saturday that air defences overnight had shot down four Ukrainian drones over the Belgorod region and one over the Kursk region, both areas bordering Ukraine.

One person was ******* in Ukrainian shelling of the Russian border city of Shebekino on Saturday, Belgorod regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said, while two other people were wounded.

Russian forces are making slow but continuing gains in Ukraine’s east while Ukraine has repeatedly struck Russian territory with missiles and drones.
