Ukraine’s interior minister has said that 14 people were killed and about 60 others injured in Russian attacks since the start of the day.
Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram on Monday that Russian forces shelled Ukraine more than 70 times across seven regions, adding that the city of Merefa in the Kharkiv region “suffered the most.”
“At the same time, Russia continues to attack the energy sector. Today in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions. These are not random strikes, but deliberate tactics to terrorise the civilian population,” he said.
Separately, Ukraine’s state energy company Naftogaz said Russia had attacked five of its facilities over the past 24 hours in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
