The latest attack struck Borova, a town in Kharkiv Oblast's Izium district, at 11:05 p.m. local time, Syniehubov said.

A 70-year-old man was injured and has been hospitalized.

Two days earlier, the Russian military attacked a crowded Kharkiv shopping center, "Epicenter," on May 25. The attack killed at least 18 people and injured 48.
